All Things Home with Tina Beliveau & Friends

The FAQs of How Home Improvements Affect Your Property Value

Listen Later

This episode of All Things Home was in response to an email I received recently from one of my favorite past clients. She sent me a list of some home updates & improvements she was getting ready to do, asked for contractor recommendations (which I gladly passed along), and then asked about the impact of these projects on the value of her home.


So I decided to record this episode to address this common question: How do the various home improvement projects impact the value of my home?


We discuss:

  • The importance of maintenance vs. value-add renovations
  • Updates that unfortunately do not significantly increase home value, including system updates like HVAC, roofs, and drainage systems
  • The role of curb appeal in first impressions and resale value
  • Prioritizing aesthetic improvements—how small changes can yield big returns
  • Considering the long-term effects of home investment depending on time in the residence

    •  Key Takeaways:

    • Homeowners should adjust their expectations regarding which updates will positively affect resale value.
    • Aesthetic improvements like paint and flooring often yield better returns than system updates.
    • Long-term plans for homeownership play a crucial role in the decision-making process for home improvements.
    • Engaging with professionals for advice can help in making smart investment choices about home renovation.
