Smartest Home Improvements

Written By Pal Sheldon

If you are a homeowner in Nashville, you've most likely gotten curious about how much your home would sell for in this current, booming market. There are a couple simple and inexpensive property updates that could make your home even more competitive in your neighborhood!

 

Give your Lawn & Garden a Rockstar Makeover!

One pleasurable and rewarding update is to get out in the yard and renew the landscaping around your home. Sprucing up the yard increases your curb appeal by giving off the best first impression of the home. Consider well hedged flowering shrubs, potted plants near the front door, and freshly laid stones or new paving along the walkways.

Insulation Installation!

Another quick and inexpensive improvement is to insulate the home’s attic space. Doing so before the winter will ensure that up to 70% of your furnace’s warmth will remain in your home. Insulating your home can also mean using a caulking gun around the normal cracks and crannies that form around windows and door-frames.

Refresh Your Water Supply | Update Copper Pipes

If you are able to spend a little to invest in the “bones” of your home, consider looking into the replacement of old copper pipes. Many homes in Nashville that were built before 1960 should have their pipes replaced in the near future. You will be amazed to how this already necessary maintenance improvement will increase the value of your home. Your plumber will probably recommend PEX as a replacement these days. See Wiki here

Kitchen Feng Shui

One of the major selling points of any home is the kitchen. Of course everyone will tell you to replace the appliances with stainless steel and add new marble countertops. As a rule, these are excellent suggestions yet the price point on these updates can be rather expensive. Instead consider the flow of the kitchen. How accommodating is the workspace for cooking and entertaining? Is there a way to make to the space flow better? Adding an island and/or replacing the sink with a deeper basin and new facets are fairly easy installations and can add character to the space.
