Can the Cost of Installing an Elevator Increase the Value of Your Home?

October 4, 2021 by Arrow Lift

Many homeowners are realizing the value of adding luxury amenities to their homes. Traditionally, the goal of most home improvement projects has been to increase the home’s functionality or beauty, while also increasing the home’s value when and if the property is sold.

But more and more, homeowners are adding luxury amenities to their current homes, or including these features as they plan and build their dream homes. These include features for entertaining, such as outdoor kitchens and lounge areas, features to improve the home’s functioning, like smart home automation systems, and features that increase the home’s luxury appeal and accessibility, such as double-entry doors and home elevators.

Advancements in the home elevator installation process have made it more practical for homeowners to add an elevator to their home. But, without a doubt, an elevator installed within a home is a value-added feature. Why? Because a home elevator provides convenience and ease of movement throughout the home, as well as adding an attractive, aesthetic appeal to your home.
