Your Home Value in Colorado

Home Values    

In Colorado, most  homes and areas are so unique, one  list of improvements to increase home value for homes for sale in Colorado may not be the right improvement recommendation for all.

Remodeling your home is one way you increase resale value. Some residential renovations can help increase home valuations and give your home greater curb appeal.

Good, regular care and maintenance will show pride of ownership. Sprucing up the outside with landscaping, new siding, paint, doors or windows can increase perceived home value but not increase the appraised value from the calculations of an appraiser. Historically, remodeling kitchens and baths returns the most dollar for dollar value.

However, we find ourselves in uncharted territory in this historic time period we all face. Only the most well kept, well maintained homes are getting second looks and offers – but those offers are still taking into consideration an anticipated 5% reduced value projected across the nation for 2012.

Distressed properties are still making a significant impact on home values so even renovations might only get you so far.  Angel Realty, LLC, recommends the additional steps of home staging and a pre-inspection to make sure that all your home’s systems are in good, working condition.
