As the demand rises for home owners requesting more and more space within their homes, garages are becoming a more important feature within homes. The space of a garage and the way it is utilized and maximized is crucial for today’s demanding buyers.
Garages are increasingly important when weighing the decision of whether or not to purchase a home and are a larger part of the value of any property. Traditionally, having car park space is convenient and ideal. However, today garages are increasingly looked at as extra space for storage and renovating into room space, etc. Therefore, if a home doesn’t have a garage to utilize this space in the first place, it may prove a complete deal breaker for any potential home buyer. The average two-car garage will return an investment two to two-and-a-half times. It doesn’t mean you have to have one with polished or painted floors and other fancy amenities, but it does have to be clean and roomy.
In the same camp as garages, closets are now a vital asset in any home – and large quantity! Closet space is also a “deal breaker” for today’s prospective home buyers and it makes sense too. If they are unable to visualize how their current “stuff” will fit in the closets then it is more beneficial to the sale of the home. On the other hand, if it appears that the amount of “stuff” they have has no potential home then they immediately feel unwelcomed. Like garage space, this closet dilemma is an easy fix! To make closets appear more spacious, clear out what you don’t need and hang everything on matching hangers.
Today’s home buyers have many legitimate needs and desires they need satisfied before making the largest purchase of their life. Don’t let wasted space bring your potential sale to a halt and ensure that your closet and garage spaces are not deal breakers!
