Greetings from B & A Realtors
"Come for a Day and Stay for a Lifetime..." 

 

 

Do It Yourself Projects 

 

  Are you the type of homeowner who likes to work on projects?  If you have been considering a project to improve your home and potentially your lifestyle, see if that new addition will really increase the value of your home.   If you are planning to sell your home now or in the near future, repairs take priority over improvement projects.

 

Here are a few proven projects that are worth the time and smart investment:

 

  • Adding a sun room
  • Creating a Master Suite
  • Adding  family room
  • Updating your landscaping
  • Upgrading the kitchen
  • Adding another bathroom
  • Install new windows
  • Creating a home office
  • Putting on a new roof

With real estate's high season coming to a close, now is the time to get these projects underway.  In the fall and winter months, contractors are often more available and at a lower cost.  Moreover, California's year-round temperate climate makes it easier during the winter months to get these projects completed during a time most of the country's construction is on hold.

If you're planning to sell next year, or even down the road, think about the projects you've been wanting to do and evaluate whether they add real value to your home.   If they do, Go for it!   There's truly no better time to do it and that new kitchen or home office may be the feature that sets your home apart.

Don't forget to meet with your Real Estate Agent and they can help you determine the value of your project.  For further information, Call 408.274.8766.
