Meeting the Midwestern Market: How an Awning Increases Your Home Value

When you’re planning to sell your home, preparation is nothing short of strategy. After all, not only do you have to take modern housing trends into account, but you also need to update the existing quirks and details of your property.

And that’s why we’re here to tell you that, contrary to expectation, you’re allowed to start from the outside and work your way in!

Specifically, an awning can help you achieve your upcoming market goals. Here’s how:

Turning Up the Volume on Lower Energy Bills

First and foremost, let’s look at the numbers.

Have you considered that an awning will provide you with an immediate return on investment by way of lowering your energy bills? Because it absolutely can and will!

In fact, the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA) has reported that Midwestern homeowners may save anywhere between 34% and 54% on their energy bills annually after they’ve installed a home awning.

Thus, if you’re not ready to sell, you get to reap the benefits of an awning for yourself. And once you are ready to sell, energy efficiency is another selling point to add to the list!

All-Around Beauty from the Outside-In

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is value. Thus, by increasing your home’s curb appeal and overall exterior longevity, you can effectively ask for more once you’re ready to put it on the market.

For example, Sunesta offers over 150 different fabric options for your awning. From color to shade and pattern, we guarantee you’ll be able to complement and enhance your property’s existing (or reimagined) color palette with a custom-designed awning.

Finally, the awning in and of itself will protect your home’s exterior and indoor furniture from fading or bleeding as a result of the harsh, direct sun. (And even the awning itself is resistant to fading, in addition to mold and moisture!)

Celebrating Your Expanded Space

Here’s a fun fact for you: according to TODAY with MSNBC, “a landscaped patio raises the value of your home by 12.4 percent.”

And an awning? Well, the moment you deploy it, you’ve expanded and optimized your property’s total outdoor space and protected your patio, thereby increasing its Midwestern market value! Not only can you use it to lounge about during even the hottest of summer days but, by adding LED lights or other enhancements, you can even use it as an evening entertainment area.

So, why wait to make a move when you can easily enter the market with confidence after you’ve contacted Sunesta?
