Five Upgrades - To Sell Your Home For Top Dollar

 Looking for the best possible investment for your home? Well, try any of these common upgrades. Sell your home for a "luxury" price. Read these five ways to upgrade your current home. 

1. Adding Light. 

According to Realtor.com, “Light-filled,” “bright,” “southern” and “exposure” are among the most frequent keywords used to the luxury homes priced at $1 million and above that sold most quickly. Now your home may not be worth $1 million, but by adding more light to your home, it might feel like it's worth $1 million! Light adds an open and safe feeling to your home.

2. High Ceilings. 

Not sure why having higher heat bills equals luxury, but the higher the better. High ceilings open up spaces. More space gives the appearance of homes with a higher sq ft, even if they aren't. Yes, this may be a little extreme of a remodel, but an easier way to add the "look" of higher ceilings, is by adding taller furniture look floor to ceiling bookcases. 

3. Quartzite Countertops. 

According to Amy Gamerman, Quartzite, a lustrous natural stone that’s harder than granite and less prone to staining than marble, is the new star of the chef’s kitchen. Any kitchen with this high-quality look gives the impression of luxury. One of the easier remoldings to do, a kitchen is a great place to start. Such an investment!

4. Butler's Pantry. 

A pantry with every service you could possibly think a kitchen could need not only adds a luxurious feel but also convenience. An entire utility area dedicated to storing items rather than food. Traditionally used for the storage of cleaning, silver, and other large kitchen items. Owning this type of convenience is its own type of luxury.

5. Smart-Home Systems. 

Internet-connected household devices add convenience, safety and of course the luxury feel. These can be as small as Echo-Dots, to as large as in home security systems. We live in a world of technology, so anything with the comfort and convenience a smart device can go a long way.
