Home Improvements That Increase Your Home's Value

According to real estate and mortgage expert, Darlene Toomer, Fairfax, Virginia, home renovations are still holding their value better than home prices in today's market. Whether you are planning on moving or staying put, Darlene offers some tips that can make your life more pleasant should you decide to sell including:
- Newly completed renovations also make buyers lives easier. Purchasers want to open the door and have everything complete. It reduces the stress of purchasing and moving
- Making home improvements can also reduce sellers' stress by heading off some of the price negotiating. Leave no room for haggling!
- Enhance the color. Paint is cheap! Everything doesn't need to be white but use soft colors in your main scheme;
- Buff up curb appeal. Add something special to the entrance such as big flower pots or an antique bench; and,
- Upgrade window treatments keeping in mind that light and privacy are paramount.
