Your home is a wonderful reprieve from your troubles and worries, a place of warmth, joy and love where you’re free to enjoy time with close friends and family. And while the memories and experiences you garner in this space are priceless, your home itself is not. Make no mistake, your home is an investment that will someday be sold, which is why it’s imperative to maximize the equity of your property. That sentiment is all well and good, but how are you supposed to determine which improvements or additions will add the most value to your home?

At We Build the Fun Stuff, we’re proud to support your dream of building a home that delights, comforts and inspires. That’s why we’ve spent the past 30+ years pioneering the fun frontier across the Twin Cities with home bars, home theaters, game rooms and many other upgrades. We also know full well that you don’t have the time to dig through dozens of articles on home equity to find investments that are worth looking into. That’s why we’ll be walking you through how to build equity using one of the most important (and most frequently overlooked) aspects of your house—its design.

The Importance of Resale

Whether you plan on selling your home in the near future or not, it’s critical to understand how important resale value is. Even if you want to spend the rest of your life living in your current home, it’s highly unlikely that the house will stay in your family forever. At some point, your children (or their kids) will rely on the income your home generates through renting or selling it outright. In any case, when the time comes to sell your home, it’s essential to optimize its value through intelligent renovations. The smartest homeowners forgo “trendy” home upgrades in favor of timeless ones, including gorgeous designs. Not only do great designs add life, energy and a compelling aesthetic to your space, but they also boost the property’s equity, increasing the value this long-term investment brings to you and your family.

Unleashing Your Home’s Full Potential

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when trying to build home equity is underestimating the potential of their living space. Despite its creaks, cracks, cobwebs and collections of dust, your home is a diamond in the rough. If you play your cards right and work with the best home improvement contractors in the business, even the nicest houses can be refined into elegant, highly valuable spaces. That’s because high-quality contractors like We Build the Fun Stuff understand how to build equity through incredible, innovative designs. (And unlike a vast majority of our competitors, we’re a blast to work with, too.)
