Adding value to your home

One of the best ways to add value to your home is to increase the square footage. What is important to know is that when you increase the square footage, homebuyers will find your home more appealing thus be more tempted to buy your property.

Here are two examples of how to increase your square footage:

1) Increase square footage by adding a deck.

Potential buyers will love having the ability to host parties out on a deck. Even have a hot tub on it. Add interest and architectural detail with a pergola. Just be sure that the deck is appropriately proportionate to your yard.

2) Add an outdoor kitchen.

Becoming more and more popular, adding an outdoor kitchen is a great way to add square footage to your home. It’s a great way to entertain friends and family. A grill and counter space for preparing food are essential, a refrigerator and sink aren't. However, including them can boost the value of your home by helping your outdoor kitchen qualify as a second kitchen.
