6 Services That Improve Home Retail Value
July 1, 2022
Whether you’re looking to flip a recently purchased house or planning on selling your long-time home, you’ll likely want to do as much as possible to increase its price. One of the best ways to make your home stand out to buyers is to invest in a few services that regularly improve a home’s retail value.
From new HVAC systems and EV chargers to whole-house fans and recirculation pumps, you have plenty of options to choose from while you try to upgrade your home. To get a sense of the type of services you might want to invest in, check out our top six services we recommend to increase your home’s price.
1. New HVAC System Installation
As HVAC systems get older, they become more inefficient, tend to make more noise, and are increasingly likely to break down. If you want to make your home more attractive to buyers, an upgraded HVAC system can do the trick. Replacing your old system with a new one will make your home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and quiet. These benefits can increase your home’s retail value on the market, as buyers won’t have to worry about repairing or replacing an HVAC system shortly after purchasing your home.
2. Custom Greywater System Installation
When you live in Sacramento, you know how important water conversation is to Californians. Since many Sacramento home buyers want to save money on their water bills and reduce their water consumption, a custom Greywater system can be an excellent addition to your home. Instead of letting water drain into your sewer system, these systems reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for landscaping or gardening purposes. As a result, your home will be more water-efficient, increasing its value to eco-conscious home buyers.
3. EV Charger Installation
With the ever-increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), homes with EV chargers already installed in their garages are often valued higher. Since at-home EV chargers remove the need to drive to a charging station and pay higher rates for electricity every time an EV needs a charge, they make owning an EV more cost-effective and convenient. By investing in EV charger installation, you’ll likely find buyers who are willing to pay more for the convenience of already having a charger installed.
4. New Hot Water Recirculation Pump Installation
When a potential buyer inspects your home, a couple of factors they might look for are your home’s water efficiency and how fast your water heats up. Installing new hot water recirculation pumps at your home can meet both of these concerns. These pumps are designed to instantaneously deliver hot water to fixtures, meaning homebuyers who want to save water and never wait for hot water will be more likely to pay more for a home with them.
5. Whole House Fan Installation
A whole house fan is a cooling system designed to draw cool air into your home while also flushing warm air out. Since this type of fan helps your AC cool your home, it increases your home’s energy efficiency and reduces AC strain. These benefits make homes with whole-house fans more enticing to homebuyers who want to protect their HVAC system and receive more affordable cooling.
6. New Water Heater Installation
Another way to raise your home’s value is to replace your old water heater with a new one. Since new water heaters will deliver hot water faster and have a lower risk of breaking down compared to older models, they’re much more attractive to new homeowners. To make your home even more valuable, have an HVAC technician recommend and install the most energy-efficient model possible.
