Why Custom Closets are So Important to your Home Value

Keeping your home maintained and updated is an excellent way to recoup its full value (and then some) when the time comes to sell. Whether or not you plan to put your home on the market in the near future, it’s wise to keep this in mind. All of the work that you put into your home should be seen as an investment in your future. Custom closets are no exception! When you have expertly designed storage spaces installed in your home by Hang It Up Closets, you’ll see the benefits now, as well as in the future when the time comes to sell.

What is the hottest commodity when it comes to real estate? Space! Whether you have a small ranch, a large farmhouse or an enormous modern home, custom closets can increase the overall space available in your home. How? First, storage space is expanded with the optimization of every square inch in your storage areas. Whether it’s overhead storage, hooks on the walls, custom cabinets and shelves, or cool closet accessories, you and your potential buyers -- will be astounded at how much you can fit in your storage spaces. In addition, though, being able to store more in the closets themselves means that you’ll have less clutter taking up space in the living areas and bedrooms. This can make rooms look bigger and flow better, which not only makes your life easier, but can make the new owners’ lives easier, too.

One of the things your real estate agent will want you to do is remove your personal items (framed photos and knickknacks, for example) from public view. You’ll also move your furniture and wall art in such a way as to make the rooms look great. When you have a place to stash your stuff, staging is easier and less cumbersome. Box up your belongings and store them seamlessly in your new custom closet. This is also a great way to keep all of the cardboard behind closed doors when the time comes to start packing in anticipation for the move.

Potential buyers want to see homes that have been cared for by their current owners. Investing time, money and effort into keeping your home nice, clean and updated shows house hunters that you care about your home and have kept it maintained. In general, people will not pay top dollar if they suspect that the home’s basics, like the plumbing, the roof and the septic system, have not been kept in good condition. Having upgrades like custom closets installed shows that you have gone above and beyond average in caring for your home.
