Interior Design: Invest in Home

by Support Team .

Saturday, January 19, 2013

When upgrading your home, you should consider how that upgrade affects the price of your home. Some home upgrades are wise investments while others will not increase the value of your home. J Design Group recommends you to take these advices into account when you’re planning to invest in home:

Landscaping

When you want to invest in home, landscaping is usually a very good investment. Mature trees on your property might increase your home value by up to $1000 per tree. To add a mature tree is quite pricey, however consider planting a young tree now for about $30 that will increase in value over the years as it grows. The tree will also provide shade to keep your home cooler and decrease your energy usage, therefore saving you money.

Additions
If you would like to invest in home and make it a larger home, consider adding on to your current home instead of moving to a new home. You can make your home addition exactly what you need instead of searching for a home that meets your requirements.  One of the most important considerations when doing a home addition is to make sure you are not the largest home in your neighborhood. Homes usually have a maximum price they will sell for in a neighborhood no matter the square footage, so make sure you do not overdo it.

Energy Efficiency

If your home is older, you may want to invest in home installing energy efficient items. Energy efficient upgrades may include energy efficient appliances, more insulation, or double paned windows. These items will save you money while you own the home and should increase the value of your home when you sell it.
