How to add value to a house: 20 ways to boost your home’s value – Real Homes

In an economy that focuses on getting the maximum number of items for the lowest amount of money, it should be no surprise that real estate has cashed in on simple ways to improve your home without spending a lot of that precious money. Real Homes comes to us today to suggest 20 different ways in which to boost the value of your home by knocking out walls, re-arranging the entire floor plan and even installing new windows.

Key Takeaways:

Instead of adding to the house, you should first consider knocking down some walls to open up some space.
New windows, with double or even triple glazing, are more energy efficient and will keep out noise from the outside.
Create a home office, gym, or game room out of an unused bedroom.

“After all, moving costs can make buying a larger home somewhat unrealistic, so improving rather than moving makes good sense.”
