Kitchen 

Do you love entertaining? Is that house with the waterfront view lacking counter space or entertainment space? Why not consider it and consider upgrading the kitchen with a custom granite countertop or backsplash?

Kitchens are an excellent investment when it comes to the upgrades of a home as they can instantly increase the value of your home. The upgrades don't have to be substantial either; you can replace the cabinet handles or give them a fresh coat of paint. 

Windows

If you are considering buying an older home, consider looking at having your windows upgraded. Why? For one, having newer windows can save you money in the long run. Adequately insulated and coated windows can keep the cold out and heat in.

Upgrading your windows can also enhance the home's appeal and visual appearance.

Energy Efficient Appliances

Another way to help keep costs down in your new home is with the upgrading of energy-efficient appliances. Do you need to them right away? No – you can see which appliances need upgrading and see which are the older ones that will probably need immediate attention.

HVAC units can be expensive and don't often get the necessary maintenance and attention that a washer, dryer, or stove. If the HVAC is nearing the 15 or 20-year mark, ask your realtor to see if you can use it as a bargaining chip with the seller. What you save from the home could go towards upgrading the unit.

Storage Solutions 

Even when you think there is enough storage space, once you unpack and start moving in, it seems all that storage space is gone. One thing that can improve your potential home is having a storage solution. Maybe there is an unfinished basement – don't be deterred by this, rather see all the potentials of the space: storage, entertainment, or family room.

Homes can never have enough storage space, and if you can see your new home's potential to have more – then it's worthy of an investment.
