New Garage Doors add value and curb appeal to your home.
Although the market conditions have not seen any improvement and everyone is having difficulty having a clear vision for the future, in real estate there is a saying that tell that what goes down must come back up, and for this particular industry those who are ready for the turn will capitalize huge on it.
Even though the majority of people are suffering financially, when it comes to remodeling their entry doors and or kitchen counter tops, these same people don’t seem to have a problem searching for the best. Why? Well its all about home value increase. For a moment just imagine your small investment, perhaps a couple thousand dollar investment to purchase a custom garage door that most likely will cover a major portion of the front of the house. Not only will a beautiful looking new garage door will enhance the appearance of the overall of your house but it will serve many purposes. For example if you have a new garage door you are more likely to sell your house faster. At the same time don't forget that any upgrades will increase the value of your home as well. And if you are smart and get a GREEN Door then you will also get that credit that the government is giving out to new garage door owners. What comes to my mind is the extra added value that this small investment will bring to your beautiful home in your expensive and highly desired neighborhood.
If your house is in an area such as Orange County, that would be approximately 1 to 3% of the total value of an orange county home. From an investor's point of view it seems silly to not consider such a small investment specially since you know that this will most likely be the first thing prospects will see when they drive up and view your home. Just research what the experts are saying about the relationship between home values and their curb appeal and you will agree without a doubt.
Some experts say that although your garage door may not be the first in mind when you are deciding what to remodel when you’re putting your house up for sale, it is definitely worth giving it some serious attention. If you really think about it, the garage door is the single largest moving object on a home and if it faces the street, you know it plays a huge part in the over all appearance. For this exact reason it is very important to realize that curb appeal is a critical factor specially if you are trying to sell your home. Just think as a customer for a minute, would you buy a house that looked ugly from the outside, better yet would you even consider going inside?
In a study field, realtors nationwide, were asked to determine if garage door appearance made a difference in the listing price they would assign to a house, surprisingly nearly all of the agents interviewed agreed that a new garage door enhances curb appeal and 75 percent strongly believed that it adds value to a home. In fact, most always recommended their seller homeowner to replace their garage door when listing their house specially if the present condition of the door was broken, in bad condition or rotted.
So next time you are thinking of selling your house do some research to get the maximum amount you could possibly get for your house. If you are going to do some remodeling put special attention to the first thing prospects will see. At the end you will be glad you did, and your hard work and research will pay off with a nice value increase equaling more money in your wallet.
