Thinking about rolling up your sleeves and diving into a home project or two? Whether you’re planning to sell your home soon or just want to freshen things up a bit, here’s a little insider info you need to know: not all upgrades are created equal when it comes to getting your money back.
Yep—that spa-like tub you’ve been eyeing or the Pinterest-worthy closet makeover might be dreamy, but they might not add much to your home’s resale value. 💸
Here’s the scoop: National stats show which projects are more likely to give you a solid return on investment. Things like garage door replacements, minor kitchen updates, and exterior paint can sometimes pay you back more than those big-ticket remodels. But keep in mind—what pays off nationally may look a little different right here in the Omaha area. Local demand matters!
So before you start demo-ing your bathroom or pricing out a gourmet range, let’s chat! I’d love to help you figure out which improvements will actually add value in our local market—and which ones are just nice to have.
Because let’s be honest: if you’re going to spend the time and money, you might as well make it count. 🙌
