With a little research, you will find that there are some things that will get you a great return on investment and there are others that will not.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">When selling your home, you may want to make some improvements that will make it more appealing to buyers, ensuring a more profitable sale.

Large, well-rooted trees found in older neighborhoods, not only make for a lovely landscape, but they also provide shade. They add beauty and they save energy, while also increasing your home value.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>&#13;<\/p>\n<li value=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>GOOD SCHOOL SYSTEM<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">It may not seem so unexpected that a home in a good school district would have increased value. But sometimes people without children do not think about this. Even if you never intend to have children, you should keep in mind that <strong>many buyers will be highly motivated to purchase a home based on the quality of the area\u2019s school system<\/strong>. For the purpose of resale value, it would be smart to invest in a home in an area with desirable schools.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>&#13;<\/p>\n<li value=\"3\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>SHOPPING NEARBY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">People like <strong>convenience<\/strong>, so if a house is near a shopping area with a supermarket, it will likely increase its value. This is especially true if it is close to higher-end stores like Trader Joe\u2019s or Whole Foods. Per Zillow, homes near these grocery stores may appreciate in value up to 40% more quickly than other homes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homesforsaleinmontgomeryalabama.com\/agent_files\/sandra%20blog%2011_13%203.jpg\" style=\"width: 450px; height: 378px;\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>&#13;<\/p>\n<li value=\"4\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>OUTDOOR RECREATION AREAS<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Living close to a park, walking trails, or other recreation areas can increase your home\u2019s value. Things like dog parks, tennis courts, golf courses, and playgrounds are appealing to people who enjoy staying active. <strong>They will be willing to spend a little more to live close to areas where they can enjoy outdoor activities<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>&#13;<\/p>\n<li value=\"5\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>SEPARATE LIVING SPACE<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Whether you have a mother-in-law suite, an apartment, or a carriage house, having a separate living space will add to the value of your home. Unlike the other items listed here, this is something you can add to a home after moving in. But while looking for a home, you may want to keep an eye out for one that already has one. Not only will it boost resale value, but it will give you the opportunity to earn rental income (depending upon the laws in your area) while living in the house.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">When buying a home, it is important to find a place that feels right for you, but unless you plan to stay there forever, it will benefit you to think about resale value as well!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">If you are in the market to buy or sell a home (or both), let me,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesforsaleinmontgomeryalabama.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sandra Nickel<\/a>, and my Hat Team of Professionals assist you with all your real estate needs!
