Thinking about reselling your property? Investing in home renovations can make your home more appealing and ultimately add more money to your wallet. 

But how can you make your home a crowd-winner? Real estate agents emphasize that closet space is a major deciding factor. If your home lacks storage space capabilities, buyers will likely pass. 

Clearly, adding a closet to your home can be a game-changer. Read on to learn how adding bedroom closets will make your home a fast and profitable seller. 

They Make the House More “Move-in Ready”

As we all know, moving is often a stressful process. Because of this, people looking at homes are envisioning where they will put their belongings and how easy it will be to move into the new home.

If there isn’t enough closet space, the potential buyers will have to consider what furniture to pack/purchase to hold their closet belongings, or they will have to make a plan to do some reconstruction prior to moving in. If your home provides additional challenges, they may move onto something more attractive.

If you already have a closet, it should be move-in ready, too. To make this closet welcoming to your buyer (and to their belongings), remember to make it look attractive.

The appeal of the closet is far more important than one might expect. According to real estate agents, small or unattractive closets can be a complete deal-breaker to the potential homebuyers viewing your home.  

Flexible Storage Capabilities

There are some items that simply don’t do well in dressers. 

Think about it: storage for coats, dress clothing, and longer items (e.g., skirts and dresses) can be difficult when there are little to no places to hang them.  

In addition to storing clothes, closets can be used to store additional belongings in homes with less storage space (children’s toys, storage bins, crafts materials, etc.) Adding a closet to a bedroom can help store any of these items with ease. 

They also reduce the eyesore. Having doors to cover whatever is stored in the closet makes the room appear more organized.

The great news is that there is also flexibility with the design of the closet. When you choose to create custom closets, you can build whatever you think is best for your home. 

What’s the Price?

The cost of creating a new closet depends on its size, the costs of labor and material expenses to build it, and the city that you’re located in. If you plan on hiring help in building your closet, you can discuss the costs of different custom closet ideas to find what is best for you and your home. 

But because bedroom closets increase property value, the cost of adding these closets will be returned to you by increasing your home’s resale value. According to the 2019 Remodeling Impact Survey, you can expect at least a 40% return on investment (ROI), though any additional costs can always be factored into the final price of the home. 

Revamp Your Home with Bedroom Closets

Whether you’re deciding to add one closet or several to your home, it’s important to keep in mind that the more closet space there is, the more attractive your home will be. 

Spruce up your current bedroom closets or add in some new ones to increase your home property. You won’t regret this excellent home investment!
