The real estate market is a very competitive  
environment. Whether you have bought a property  
while living there or simply as an investment, it’s 
always  wise to take proactive measures to preserve 
or  increase its value over time. Not doing so may 
expose  you to the risk of losing money when it’s time 
to sell or  rent.
In this article, you will find some great tips on how to 
 increase your home’s value and attract more 
potential  buyers and renters.
Making your home more energy efficient can lower  
utility bills, thus making your property less expensive 
to  manage. This can be a crucial factor in attracting  
potential buyers and tenants. Here are some practical  
ways you can make your home more energy efficient:
installing LED lighting;
installing energy-efficient appliances;
sealing any air leaks in your windows and door.
All other factors being equal, the more usable square  
footage in your home, the higher its market value will 
be.  Here’s how you can achieve this result:
converting the basement into a livable 
space;  building an addition to the property;
adding an outdoor living area or patio.
Renovating the bathrooms and kitchen is another excellent 
 way to increase your home’s value. These are two 
essential  rooms in any home, so it pays to invest in 
improving them.
Bathroom renovations include adding steam showers,  
modern fixtures, and updating tilework, while kitchen  
renovations can include new countertops, cabinets, 
and  appliances.
The more modern and comfortable your bathroom and  
kitchen will be, the more attractive your property will be 
to  buyers and renters.
Giving your walls a fresh coat of paint can do miracles 
in  increasing the attractiveness of your home. A bright, 
 neutral color palette will appeal to most buyers and 
give  your property the new lease on life it needs.
Make sure the paint you choose is of high quality. 
Painting  your home will also help protect the walls from 
any future  damage, making it easier to keep your home 
looking neat  and inviting.
Access control solutions can make your property safer, 
 which is a big plus when it comes to market value. 
Such  solutions include smart locks and video 
doorbells.
You can also install access control devices that can be 
 controlled remotely. For example, you can use a smart 
 doorlock to grant access to rental guests, which is  
beneficial if you plan to use your property as short-
term  rental.
Another way you can make your house safe is by  
installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These 
 life-saving devices can alert you of any potential 
danger  and protect your property from costly 
damages.
Installing these detectors is also a requirement in 
many  jurisdictions, so it’s wise to make sure you 
comply with  these regulations.
Smart alarms can alert you or the authorities of any  
suspicious activity. This can be a great way to deter  
potential break-ins and give your house the extra layer 
of  protection it needs.
Smart alarms also come with additional features, such 
as  motion sensors and cameras, that can help you 
keep an  eye on your property from afar.
Insulation upgrades are another great way to 
make your  home more attractive and energy-
efficient by saving  money on utility bills. Some 
of the most effective  insulation upgrades 
include:
adding insulation to the attic;  
installing energy-efficient 
windows;
sealing air leaks in doors and 
windows;  wrapping ductwork.
