If you’re building a new custom home or remodeling your existing home, let Monty Anderson Construction Group show you how to create a space you’ll enjoy now and reap financial benefits on in the future. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average homeowner sells every five to seven years. The smart homeowner buys and remodels with that next sale/move in mind, ensuring that today’s home will turn a profit tomorrow. Monty Anderson Construction Group offers these tips to ensure that your new or remodeled home will bring a top-dollar ROI for you.

1.    Invest in durable materials: Spending a little more for high-quality building materials that hold up well against everyday wear and tear will pay off. This is particularly true for surfaces such as tile or stone floors and countertops and decorative features including wood molding. You may save a few dollars in the short term by buying less expensive, lower quality materials. But if surface and decorative features are dinged and gouged when it comes to selling your home, a prospective buyer may insist that you pay for replacing it. Monty Anderson Construction Group can help you choose high quality materials that fit your budget.

2.    Consider the next buyer’s taste: That bold colored custom countertop you love today might not be quite so endearing to your prospective buyer a few years down the road. Most homeowners want that personal touch in their décor that reflects their personality. But Monty Anderson Construction Group cautions against trendy or highly personal choices in certain, hard-to-change elements. Experts recommend sticking with more neutral colors for surfaces such as floors and countertops. Instead, make your mark in a less permanent way that’s easy for the next buyer to change. For instance, feel free to splash the walls with that fire engine red that makes you feel energized. If your home’s next homeowner prefers more mellow tones, it’s an easy fix.

3.    Build/remodel for easy access: Accessibility is a key issue for elderly homeowners, for younger homeowners who expect frequent visits by parents and for the disabled. Wider hallways and doorways make it easier to maneuver wheelchairs and walkers, as well as larger furniture. Plus, they offer a more open, aesthetically pleasing feel. The traditional bathroom increasingly is giving way to a more open, wet room configuration. Step-in showers with no lip or tub wall separating them from the rest of the room are more easily accessible and have a high-end, spa-like feel.
