Storage space is a huge selling point for buyers. Look for homes with opportunities to add smart storage—unused attic space, under-stair nooks, or reconfigurable closets can increase functionality and value.

Some fixer-uppers are worth the effort, but others are money pits in disguise. Watch out for major red flags: foundation cracks, extensive water damage, old electrical systems, or structural issues.

Look for homes with energy-efficient potential—new windows, good insulation, and modern HVAC systems aren’t just great for lowering utility bills; they also add significant resale value. Buyers love move-in-ready homes that are cost-effective to maintain, so investing in energy-efficient upgrades can make your home more attractive and valuable in the long run. #TheYatesTeam #realestateagent #FixerUppers #EnergyEfficientHomes #SustainableLiving #FutureProofYourInvestment
