Top 7 Storage Upgrades That Attract Buyers and Boost Home Appeal
As potential buyers view your home, one of the things they're thinking about is how their things will look in it - and whether or not there will be room. Storage space is a major selling point for Rockland County homes for sale, and adding more can be a great way to boost your home's appeal. Here are seven upgrades you can make to add storage and attract buyers.
- Kitchen Panels and Shelving
A series of wooden 2x4s, painted or varnished to match your decor, can be installed in the kitchen or on a wall near the cooking area for convenient storage and access. Put hooks into the boards and hang pots and pans from one, spoons and spatulas from another, and measuring cups and spoons from a third. Then, put a shelf on top of each board where potential buyers could put herbs, spices, and other frequently-used ingredients, for easy access during cooking. - Pegboard
Great for the garage, a pegboard is a large panel of wood or cork covered in holes for hooks. Hanging tools on the board makes them easier to see and access, and potential buyers can adjust where and how many hooks they place to suit their own needs, so they're always at hand when they need them. - Kitchen Island
A more involved upgrade, a kitchen island can also boost your home's resale value, making it a great project before you sell. These are popular with homebuyers as they increase kitchen storage in two ways, with counter space on top and cabinets below. - Outdoor Shed
If buyers try to store too much in the garage, eventually there won't be room in there for their car - particularly if there are a lot of bulky things there, like bicycles or a riding mower. An outdoor shed in the backyard is the perfect place to store those items. If you're handy, you can build one yourself or buy one ready-made at your local home improvement store. - Sliding Rack
Installing a sliding rack in a cabinet is a great way to store more in a smaller space. Hanging, say, pots and pans on it allows them to fit more compactly. Then when you open the cabinet, the rack slides out, so you can see and access what you need more easily. - Loft Bed
A loft bed has a frame that puts it closer to the ceiling, providing space below it for a dresser, a desk, or other bulky items that might have trouble fitting in a smaller room. Particularly good for a child's room, kids love sleeping up high, and it provides extra storage for their space. - Strategic Shelves
There are plenty of places where installing an extra shelf on the wall provides the perfect storage space. In a bedroom or study, an extra shelf is a great place to put knickknacks, houseplants, and other decor. In the bathroom, an extra shelf can store extra toilet paper or cleaning supplies. A shelf in the living room can be where potential buyers store CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and other physical media. A shelf near the bottom of the closet can create extra space for shoes, both above and below. Extra shelves are simple to install, very versatile, and a great selling point in any home.
There are plenty of other upgrades you can make that will appeal to potential buyers, and our real estate agents can help you find which ones are best for your space. Contact us to get started on the selling process and maximize your chance of finding a great buyer and a great price.
