Should You Prioritize Resale When Remodeling?



While getting an idea of the potential cost of your remodel is helpful, the bathroom or kitchen quote attached to such a project may cause you to think twice before deciding to pursue one. That said, homeowners often look at remodeling as a form of investment, hoping that it would increase the value of their homes when they sell in the future. However, if you focus solely on resale, you might be neglecting other important aspects that would make your remodel a success.

In this article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Greater Rockwall sheds some light on other things that you should consider before starting a renovation. 

Improvement in Your Quality of Life

While it’s important to consider the buyer in mind, you also have to keep in mind that you also have to live in your home after the remodel is done. This is especially important if you see yourself living in your home for a decade or more. If this is the case, you should be more flexible in how you see your investment. Leave space in your remodel to tailor your home’s design to your family’s specific needs. 

For homeowners trying to build their dream homes, the idea of resale might seem even more superficial. In this situation, it is always best to prioritize your needs so that your home can provide you with all the necessary comfort. 

A tip to keep in mind is that when getting a kitchen or bathroom estimate, you should also ask your contractor if the features you’re planning to add would be able to evolve with the changing needs of your family. 

Aesthetic Considerations

Trying to appeal to a wider market can cause you to make safe and boring design choices. While a neutral color palette may appeal to more potential buyers, it wouldn’t necessarily attract them into buying your home. Anyone can design a generic-looking home, so sometimes being unique and original be advantageous to you. 

Don’t be afraid to be bold with your design choices. If you’re unsure about certain elements, consult design professionals. They can lend a good ear and help you make sound decisions regarding your home’s design. With their expertise, they might even help you achieve excellent design choices that match your taste while also boosting the resale value of your property.
