When you're getting ready to sell your house, every little detail matters. You want to be able to get the very best price for your home, so you will want to evaluate many different factors that might affect your overall home value. One such factor is definitely the garage doors. According to Webfoot, 80% of home buyers consider garage doors seriously when making an offer on a home. Let's look at some ways garage doors can affect your home's value.
If you're in the process of putting your home up for sale, you have probably heard this term many times. Curb appeal is a combination of many different factors that affect how your home looks from the street. This is the first impression that your home makes on those visiting. This can be a combination of the exterior paint or siding, porch or patio design, landscaping, and most definitely the garage doors. You should consider that the garage doors take up a large portion of exterior space on the house, and are very often facing the road and the main driveway or walkway up to the house. This gives the garage a powerful impact when it comes to curb appeal. For this reason, it's a good idea to ensure that doors are in good shape both mechanically and in appearance.
Another important factor that affects your home's value will be safety. Safety and security are high on the priority list of potential home buyers that might be looking at your home. The garage doors will have a huge impact on safety and security. The garage affects safety in that if the doors are not functioning properly, people or pets passing underneath could be harmed if the door fell suddenly or was stuck. The garage doors affect security in the respect that they are an entry point to your home. You want the doors operating and locking properly to secure the home.
Potential home buyers will want to see that the garage doors are operating properly because the doors affect the functionality of the house. If the
garage doors don't operate properly, it can be a real inconvenience on a daily basis.
