In today's luxury, real estate market a property has to include a substantial number of amenities for buyers to consider investing. That applies in particular when it comes to the Boca Raton area. The community caters to most every lifestyle. However, it’s a mecca for the wealthy who are often seeking secondary and vacation homes as a chance to escape. Your luxury property needs to include many of the features this demographic is seeking, or they can quickly move in another direction. In this week’s blog, we point out a few upgrades to consider that helps to make a home more appealing to this type of buyer. These suggestions will help you increase the ability to make the sale especially if your single-family home or luxury condo needs to have an update.

Wine cellars are seemingly popping up everywhere in estates throughout the country. When living in a place like South Florida, you may not necessarily think of including a wine cellar because these additions are typically found in the North or on the West Coast. While the trend is leaning more toward including a special room to enjoy your cherished collections of Boudreaux’s and Sauvignon Blancs it may seem this type of add-on would be costly. In contrast, these rooms can be very reasonably priced for anyone who is considering this kind of renovation. If you’re handy or would like to hire someone who is, building wine racks and creating a simple space isn’t that difficult. We’ve seen many of today’s man caves include an area that is meant for people to savor their favorite grapes and more. You can find plenty of great ideas by thumbing through the internet. However, it’s best to work with professional designers and contractors if you’re planning on moving walls and doing major renovations.

There are several reputable contractors who can help install a fabulous wine cellar. The two that come to mind is the Wine Guardian and Wine Cellar International. Both of these businesses are based in Boca Raton, and they can help you design the ideal space for just this remodel. You can expect to spend somewhere in the ballpark of $5K or more. However, if you plan on selling your property, this will increase your chances and can add to the bottom line listing price. The most important thing to remember is how much you will cherish the time spent in your custom wine cellar.

Aside from wine being a preference, another excellent choice to build value in your home is to have an in-law suite built for guests or family members. Whether you’re looking to add on to the property or you want a separate unit, this new room can help you to gain more attention when it comes to home buyers. Also, this room can be designed with its kitchen and living quarters separate from the larger estate. There’s a multitude of uses for this space including using it as a hobby room or office. Nonetheless and in-law suite can run somewhere in the ballpark of $19,000 or higher.

If you’re looking for someone to contract for this type of addition, contact your concierge if you live in a country club community. Be sure to check with your association if you’re adding construction to ensure you’re sticking to the guidelines. In most cases, it’s not an issue. But, you want to be sure you don’t sign on the dotted line to find out later there are extra costs associated. If you live on the private property and want to hire the right folks to do the job, feel free to contact us for a recommendation.

Next renovation for you to consider that will build extra value in the home would be to ‘deck out’ your deck or the lanai. A complete backyard living space is a big request in these parts. This applies when buyers are specifically seeking ocean or waterfront property. People who are looking for this amenity do so because they love to be outdoors and this customer tends to be interested in entertaining guests. Who wouldn’t like to share the fresh air and a view of the ocean or in some places the Intracoastal with their loved ones? In any event, if you’re looking to stay at this home for the rest of your life or it’s only temporary, a finished backyard living space will significantly improve your love for the home. Exterior designs for backyard living spaces can range considerably from $10,000 and more so be sure to hire an excellent builder to get the best for your money spent.

One last renovation that can completely change the look of your home is that of new flooring. This upgrade can be costly with homes that boast spacious layouts. The other issue to consider is material. Whether you’re having the highest grade of pine to Italian marble, you can expect this upgrade to be well worth the investment. Replacing old floors with something that is fresh, new and unique will improve your selling price. This type of feature is usually well noted in the listing as a sales point. Whether it’s wood, granite or some other material, this decor will enhance the beauty of the property regardless.
