The Best Ways to Increase Value of New Construction

Whether you are a new home builder or a homebuyer looking to purchase a new construction home, the end goal is the create the house with the most value. As a builder, you want to build your home for a certain market, however you want that home to stand above the competition. For home buyers planning a new construction home, you have a certain price point but you also want to consider the resale value.

Increasing the value of new construction can be accomplished in a number of ways, but here are three ways that tend to provide the most value.

Space

One criteria that many homeowners have during their home search, is square footage of a home. Builders and seasoned homeowners know that the square footage doesn’t necessarily lend itself to the accuracy of how spacious the house feels, but it at least provides a reference or cutoff point for shoppers.

It is important to create spacious homes, with very little wasted space such as long hallways and hard to access rooms.The more open and connected the home is, the larger it will feel.

Energy Efficiency

This is becoming a very important factor for homeowners. Energy bills can absolutely crush a person’s wallet, so buyers are becoming more green-savvy. They want homes that can lower their utility bills while also doing the environment a little favor.

Including high efficiency appliances and heaters are a great draw for consumers. In addition, you can construct the home to provide energy efficiency. Our Eco Insulation provides an energy efficient solution for an otherwise unglamorous portion of the home build. The blown cellulose insulation has more coverage than traditional sheeted insulation and provides a more efficient heat transfer blockage. New construction insulation is an important part of the process.

Focus on Kitchen and Bathrooms

Finally, you should focus the majority of detailing for the kitchen and bathrooms. These are the rooms that sell a home. Sure, everyone likes to see a nice master bedroom and good sized secondary bedrooms, but they will sacrifice size and details on those rooms for a higher end kitchen or bathroom.

Large cabinets, large islands, and an open floor plan should highlight your kitchens. For bathrooms, detailed tiling around the showers is an immediate draw for prospective home buyers.
