Home Investments While on a Budget

Dear Ali, 

Purchasing a home is only the beginning of homeownership! Let’s discuss what investments may be worth making, and how to do so while sticking to a budget.

1. Kitchen is King

In addition to switching to stainless steel appliances when possible, think about other kitchen updates that make a big impact. A little color and texture through a new backsplash can take a kitchen from plain to magnificent. Also, add recessed lighting to brighten up your home!

2. Boost the Bathroom 

You don't have to spend a lot of money to make a big impact in bathrooms – install new fixtures, regrout the shower, add crown molding, and brighten up the room with some paint. Just a few small improvements in a bathroom can be a really smart way to spend your money.

3. Front Yard Makeover

Whether it's a nice paver walkway or simply adding some color to your planters, keeping your front yard looking fresh is not only inexpensive, but also adds great curb appeal. A groomed yard tells your neighbors that you take pride in your home and neighborhood.

Any improvement to your home can turn into an investment in your property’s future. If you would like more resources and information about ways to boost your home's equity,  I'm here to chat anytime!
