Neil Rohrbacker • May 14, 2020
When it comes to upgrading your home in a smart way, so that you make the best choice for future resale value, many homeowners are fairly cautious about what they spend their hard-earned money on. 

A custom closet not only adds resale value to your home, it is a smart and efficient upgrade that gets used every day. When considering home upgrades for resale, making your decision based on usefulness, price and design will help you choose which projects are worth it. Custom closets throughout your home impress homebuyers and are a great additional perk when someone is seeking a new place to live. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy the benefits of a custom-built closet for the duration of time you stay in your home! 

Even if you are not thinking about selling your home anytime soon, it is always beneficial to consider what types of upgrades you may want to make to ease your daily life, make your household run more efficiently, and boost the aesthetic appearance of your home - all while adding resale value. As with most home improvement projects, evaluating the cost, benefits, and usefulness of a home upgrade is an important first step. Custom closets are worth the time and money spent when it comes to becoming the organized homeowner you desire to be. Not only will you be able to enjoy the extra space a closet system adds to your home, when you become ready to sell your home, a custom closet is aesthetically pleasing in photographs for your listing and will help it stand out from other homes that do not offer the same. 

Read on to learn more about how custom closets add resale value to your home and will ultimately contribute to selling your home even quicker!

Three Rules to Follow For Home Upgrades That Add Resale Value to Your Home

Does the upgrade benefit your life? Is the price worth it? Will the design match the aesthetic appearance of the home and add shine to your listing photos and showings? Ask yourself these three questions when deciding to make home improvements with resale value in mind. When getting a home ready to sell, most homeowners focus on curb appeal (landscaping), repairs that need to be made, and aesthetic appearance of the interior. 

The kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and master bedroom of your home are some of the first places a buyer will want to check out when attending a viewing. When custom closets and organization systems are added into these spaces, it enhances the appeal of your home to buyers because they can easily imagine how their own personal belongings will fit into the areas. Plus, there is nothing quite like buying a home that already has extra storage and space! Custom closets show great during open houses and home tours - you will notice that your real estate agent will make a big deal of showcasing these areas in their listing presentations and will make sure to point them out during home showings.

Does a Custom Closet Upgrade Benefit Your Everyday Life?

The short answer is, yes! Custom closets can save you time, hassle, and add ease into your daily life by creating a space that has all the tools to help you stay organized. A little organization goes a long way in saving you time everyday and custom closet systems add more than a little extra organization! Whether you have a large family and need to be able to get your kids dressed quickly in the mornings or you're a working business professional, who is on the grind without a lot of extra time, closet organization systems can be customized to fit your specific needs and help keep your everyday routines running smoothly. 

Over the past few years, Marie Kondo has become the guru in home organization and her “spark joy” approach to getting and staying organized inspired people across the world to clear out clutter and get organized. One of her methods for keeping tidy involves placing things within view and in plain sight. This allows you to know what you own, exactly where it is located, and how many or how much of something you have. This method for organization is said to bring ease and efficiency into your daily routine. Nothing quite opens up your space like built-ins for your master closet, kitchen pantry, or kids closets. Adding custom hanging rods, shelves, hooks and folding stations will keep things tidy and within sight, so you won’t be digging through the pile on your closet floor for the belt that matches the shoes you have on that day. 

Custom closets will bring added benefit to your life and help you keep a tight running shift in your home. The organization systems that are installed will allow you to enjoy extra space, but they will also add time to your life because you will know right where everything is located. So, does a custom closet upgrade benefit your everyday life? Yes! And it will benefit the resale value of your home as well!
