Internet Access / Cable TV Hookups

People never want to be disconnected. Whether it be wifi access or HDTV, they are expecting kitchens to accommodate their connected lifestyle. Cable television hookups are a must, as are multiple electrical outlets.

Open Floorplan with Plenty of Storage

In today’s world, multi tasking is critical. People want to be able to help their kids with their homework, while at the same time cook dinner. An open floor plan will allow them to quickly move back and forth in their kitchen and get multiple tasks done at once.

Storage is also a key item in today’s kitchens. As the purpose of the room grew, so did the number of items that were needed to be stored. People don’t want to clutter counter top space with laptops, cell phones, keys, papers, etc. They expect storage areas to quickly and easily organize items and keep them out of site until needed.

Granite Counter Tops

You ever watch those television shows where people upgrade homes? Ever notice they all have granite counter tops installed? That’s because buyers are looking for counter tops that won’t get scratched by computers or get stained by their kids coloring on it. They want high quality and high impact counter tops that are usable and durable, yet also striking and eye catching.

As kitchens evolve into more of a living area, it’s critical for homeowners to stay up to date to give buys what they’re expecting. No longer will updated appliances make a kitchen. Buyers are expecting rooms that can be utilized for all manor of daily activities. Whether it be quiet reading or the big football game, your kitchen needs to be ready to accommodate it all.

Here are the top four remodeling and addition projects that will give you the biggest return on your investment:

Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodels are the undisputed champion among home remodeling projects that add to home values. From a real estate standpoint, nothing can make or break a home’s overall value like the condition of the kitchen, and even a minor kitchen facelift can boost your home’s total value. A recent report released by Remodeling Magazine in November 2010 indicated that making small changes in the kitchen is great value for money, and according to HGTV, kitchen remodels return more value than any other home remodeling task.

2nd Bathroom Addition or Remodel

Whether you’re remodeling your home to improve its appearance or to show to prospective buyers, a second bathroom addition is an excellent investment thanks to its ability to skyrocket a home’s value.  If you don’t want or need to add a second bathroom, you can still engage in serious value-boosting bathroom remodeling by fixing up your existing bathroom. Either way, your investment will be well spent and add directly to your home’s value.

Current hot items in bathrooms include granite countertops, a large tub or shower with multiple spray features, his and hers vanities, plenty of outlets, heated towel racks and heated flooring.

Family Room Remodeling

Apart from the kitchen, the family room is arguably the most-used room in the house; so investing in a family room remodeling project is money well spent.  Real estate experts agree that family room remodeling projects are excellent investments because family rooms are one of the top rooms that prospective buyers take into consideration when purchasing a home.

Master Bedroom Remodeling

Master Bedrooms have changed a lot in the last couple of years. People now expect master bedrooms to have a lot of space, with sitting areas, large closets, and dressing areas. Some homes are even adding snack areas to their master bedroom.

“This is not your grandparents’ bedroom anymore,” says Rich Trethewey, plumbing expert for the PBS series “This Old House.”

Homeowners are expanding their master bedrooms by knocking down walls and combining adjoining rooms to create huge master suites.

Hot items in today’s master suites include recessed lighting, internet access, lighting and ceiling fans with remote controls, and large entertainment areas for tvs and stereos.

Conclusion

When it comes to home remodeling values, there’s no denying that these four rooms give you the most bang for your buck. When considering remodels or additions to your home, keep in mind your personal preferences may not add as much value as standard updates and general renovations; however, they do go a long way in keeping your home modern and working for you.
