Home Remodeling | Inexpensive Upgrade Options<\/h2>\n

Home Remodeling<\/a> | The top priority for\u00a0most buyers when house hunting is function. While charm and character go a long way, they can\u2019t overcome a bad layout, lack of storage, or a poor use of materials.<\/p>\n

To really love the home you\u2019re in and increase potential buyers\u2019 interest, choose updates that will make living in your home easier.<\/p>\n

For the small renovation budget of $3,000, you could complete\u00a0any one of the projects below to\u00a0boost the appeal, functionality and value of your home.<\/p>\n

Add a covered entry<\/h3>\n

Many homes, especially older ones, don\u2019t have a covered front door. Adding cover\u00a0will not only greatly increase the curb appeal of your home, but also make your life easier. Say goodbye to fumbling for your keys in the rain with an armful of groceries.<\/p>\n

A covered entry also offers guests a warm welcome, providing shelter while they wait at the door.<\/p>\n

Create an open floor plan<\/h3>\n

Much new home construction today makes use of an open floor plan. A\u00a0home where one room flows into the next is convenient\u00a0for everyday family life, and is also a huge advantage when entertaining guests.<\/p>\n

Creating an open floor plan in your home may be as simple as removing a wall. For a small investment, you can hire a contractor to take down a wall, creating a larger, more\u00a0open space.<\/p>\n

Homes with open floor plans often feel larger, which is a great selling point.<\/p>\n

Upgrade to natural stone countertops<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re loving your home or selling it, one place upgrades have a major impact is the\u00a0kitchen. Upgrading standard countertops can do wonders for the style of your kitchen, and also make the\u00a0room more functional.<\/p>\n

Natural stone countertops like granite are\u00a0among\u00a0the most durable on the market. Heavily resistant to scratches and high temperatures, they can stand up to anything you can cook up.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with any of these affordable updates. Each will make your home work better for your needs, and will\u00a0be selling points for any future buyers. – Zillow<\/em><\/p>\n
