Sellers looking to put their home on the market in the near future always ask me what renovations they can do to boost their sale value. According to HGTV, here are the top home updates that actually pay off!

1) Minor Bathroom Remodel: Average Return at Resale - 102%

Replace tub, tile, flooring, toilet, sink, vanity, and fixtures. Repaint. Replace old shower doors to remove them alltogether to create the illusion of a larger space.

2) Landscaping: Average Return at Resale - 100%

The front of your home is the first impression on a buyer! Add colorful flower and plants, a fountain, or trim back overgrown plants.

3) Minor Kitchen Remodel: Average Return at Resale - 98.5%

Without redesigning the floor plan, you can resurface cabinets, replace appliances and fixtures, repaint, and change flooring.

4) Exterior Improvements: Average Return at Resale - 95.5%

Repaint the exterior wall and doors, remove old awnings, fix cracked concrete, etc.

5) Attic Bedroom Conversion: Average Return at Resale - 93.5%

Adding a bonus room to your property is always desirable!
