Your basement can add comfort, cash
Looking for a way to make your home more comfortable and valuable? It may be right under your feet.
We’re talking about your basement, which can be converted into a fun living space that also will pay off with a good return if and when you sell the house.
Meanwhile, depending on size, a renovated basement can accommodate a kitchen and a bathroom, making it a self-contained living unit.
Finished basements add to property values as well as to quality of living.
“On average, across the U.S., finishing a basement provides a 70-75% return on investment at resale,” says Real Expert, which connects homeowners with real estate experts who can advise them on ways to upgrade and sell their property.
You can get a new family area, or a man cave, or a diva den or all of the above. It’s money well-spent.
“Finishing a basement is a major renovation, but the space can be transformed into a major asset to get a higher asking price,” says Real Expert.
Room to grow
Renovating and upgrading a basement expands the amount of quality living space you enjoy. Who wouldn’t want an extra room or two, whether it’s for family or for company?
A skilled remodeling contractor can transform a dull, creepy cellar into a vibrant new living area.
This updated area also can be a chance for you to make money by renting it, either long term or short term.
Before you remodel, plan ahead with an experienced contractor to determine the improvements that are best for your family and your budget.
