Brand new homes are built with storage in mind. They are equipped with incredible closets, shelves and storage areas. Unfortunately older homes just weren't designed with storing "stuff" in mind. This means that when you are thinking of selling your older home you may have to make a few adjustments in terms of available storage space in order to stay competitive with the newer homes on the market.
While it's pretty hard to add-on a closet to a home, adding on a double garage is not nearly as complicated or as expensive as you think, and it really adds value to your home when it comes time to sell it.
Of course, why wait to make your home better until you won't actually be living in it anymore? Functional upgrades like adding a garage are the kind of renovation you can enjoy now and still profit from years down the road.
To make your new garage appealing to buyers and maximize its usefulness now, build in storage accessories. Simple items like shelves, hooks, cupboards and bins make your garage instantly useful and help you stay organized while keeping the clutter out of your home.
According to the Realty Times article "How Much Resale Value For A Garage" by PJ Wade, you can dream pretty big when it comes to uses for a new garage,
"If your municipality allows accommodation to be added to a garage, the additional space and any related income may be the deciding factor for some buyers. If an occupancy permit is out of the question, the garage can still double as an art studio, workshop, or man cave, and differentiate your property from the neighbors. Will your zoning allow the space to be used for a home-based business?"
