Can a New Garage Door Help Me Sell My House?
Q: Can a new garage door help me sell my house?
A: People often contemplate selling their home as-is or doing some renovations to make it more attractive and get a higher return on their investment (ROI). Some features, like a premium garage door for example, will affect the price when trying to sell. But it may also encourage the current owners to stay because their home looks more attractive. So why do homeowners opt to change their garage doors?
Garage Doors are Valuable in a Reno
Garage doors are often the front of the house and the first thing a person sees when visiting a property. If the garage door looks old, rusty, or has peeling paint, it won’t make a great first impression. Trying to sell a home with a garage door that looks like something out of a horror movie will put buyers off. Buyers also consider what they have to put in and the expenses they need to add to make their new home is a place they’re 100% happy with.
Getting a New Garage Door
Garage doors can be expensive given the types of materials used as well as the way it functions (automatic, manual etc.) However, when families sell their homes after replacing their old garage door, they get a good ROI because they can include the expense in the sale of the house. It’s often a win-win, and the next owners won’t need to fix the garage door problem themselves.
A Fresh Coat of Paint or Varnish
If the garage door doesn’t need all that much work, then a fresh coat of paint or varnish can refresh the look. Homeowners will save on costs by brightening up their old garage door without the expense of having to replace it completely if it’s not due to be replaced.
