How to Add Value to Your Home
Increasing your home’s value is a good idea whether or not you are planning to sell in the near future. Even if you are going to remain in your home for awhile, you will enjoy your home more with some carefully planned upgrades. Adding value to your home is also a good financial decision. Begin by touring your neighborhood.
Look at your neighbor’s homes and see how they have kept their home’s up. If people in your neighborhood have added a bathroom, then you may need to add a bathroom to bring your home up to par. Although you don’t want to necessarily get into a competition with your neighbors, you do want to take steps to add value to your home. The amount of money that you spend on renovations does not mean you will add that same amount of money to the value of your home. In many cases, smaller projects can end up adding more value than larger ones. The best projects are ones that will add to your live while adding to your home’s value at the same time.
What Will Happen to the Housing Market Over the Coming Months?
According to BBC1’s Property Watch, “recovery is all about consumer confidence”, only to some extent. The recovery of this property market is about one main thing and that’s the need for 90% mortgage lending to come back. It doesn’t matter how confident we all are, until proper, sensible lending comes back, the market can’t move forward that much, it’s basically stuck. So will prices continue to rise over the coming months? The answer to this is yes and no, oh and also ‘it depends where you live and what property type you have!’.
The market is currently moving forward well versus previous months as property investors and people trading up as well as confident First Time Buyers are starting to buy. Sellers have decided to either drop their price to secure a buyer, or they have taken their property off the market and less properties are being put up for sale.
BBC1's Property Watch – Facts Or Headlines?
To be fair, I was worried, would this be a series of ’scare mongering’ and poor stats, or claims to get to the ‘truth about property’ which hasn’t ever got there in the past. However, the programme was an OK mix of property stats and stories. The ‘headlines’ were about how prices have fallen and the fear of long term negative equity, then a story about how the falls had affected people across the UK, interspersed with some facts, albeit not so far the best ones to be following the market.
So, at least a good balanced approach. However, there are some issues with the information that they used and certainly some of the research. For example, one survey was from a company called Standard and Poors, which forgive me, isn’t that the same company that gave triple AAA fantastic investment ratings to those awful subprime mortgage loans? Do we really want our hard earned tax payer’s money going to this company? Not sure we do, or would we ever trust any data from this company every again thanks very much!
