How The Property Brothers Use Old Home Charm To Increase Value
By TRINITY ARCHIE
Rather than viewing an old home as a liability, Drew Scott of HGTV’s “Property Brothers” explained how to maximize your home’s value by turning dated features into selling points.
To take advantage of charming rustic features, it’s essential to renovate where appropriate so buyers can enjoy old design elements along with the functionality of modern updates.
The HVAC system and plumbing, for example, must be upgraded, as buyers won’t want to cover repair costs, and features like kitchen cabinets and door paint color can be modernized.
Then, identify features that give your home personality, like old fireplaces, original wood floors, or a unique accent wall, and retain those to create a balance of old and new.
