When purchasing an existing home, one of the most important aspects to consider for the future is the resale value. It may seem odd to consider selling your home before you’ve even moved in. Still, your future self will thank you for taking the time to consider every aspect of the house and its value.<\/p>\n

When purchasing real estate and building a custom home<\/a><\/strong>, this is no different. Building your dream home does not necessarily mean building your forever home. You may be building a high-quality home that perfectly suits you now, even if you may move on later.<\/p>\n

Suppose you know that the likelihood of moving is substantial or even possible. In that case, it is a good idea to spend some time considering a future buyer’s preferences which will benefit you by increasing the home value and ease of sale later.<\/p>\n

Here are a few resale elements that you should consider during the home building process:<\/p>\n

Floor Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ensuring that your home has a floor plan with a good flow is absolutely a selling point of any home. House plans that are chopped up or do not have a designated master suit do not carry much appeal in today\u2019s market. Building a home that has an open floor plan concept, high ceilings, and zone designations<\/a><\/strong> for work, play, and living are what potential buyers will be looking for in a home.<\/p>\n

Exterior<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The exterior of your home is what will first bring appeal to your home. They say not to judge a book by it\u2019s cover, but people absolutely tend to do this with homes. Selecting outside finishes that coordinate with the neighborhood or landscape, that are timeless, and that are beautiful without requiring too much upkeep will be great selling points in a new home.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, including an outdoor living space will increase the value of your home for resale and you will get to enjoy a wonderful outside space while you enjoy your home!<\/p>\n

Interior<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Interior design<\/a> is what truly makes a house into a home. It can be tempting to customize every bit to your unique style and design but if you know that you will be keeping resale value in mind, we suggest selecting finishes and paint colors that are neutral and coordinate with any modern color pattern and style. If you have a bright and colorful style preference, it is best to bring color and creativity in with your furniture and wall hangings so that you can take them with you and leave a clean slate behind for the next home buyers to enjoy.<\/p>\n
