If you are planning on selling your home, it doesn't hurt to invest in your property to capitalize on its value. 

However, before fixing up a home, a smart seller will weigh the cost of proposed improvements against the home's market value after the repairs or upgrades are completed. If an upgrade won't return the investment, such an improvement might not be warranted.

Before deciding to make specific repairs before resale, take time to tour other homes for sale in the neighborhood. Take note of the condition and amenities in those homes.

Here are some improvements that will boost your home’s selling price.

If you ask any real estate expert for the top home upgrade with greatest the returns, the answer will always be the kitchen.

In fact, the kitchen is one of the areas that buyers look at closely when considering a home for sale.

The kitchen is the heart of any home and is one of the smartest spaces to invest in. The average cost of an upscale kitchen remodel is more than $80,000. A full kitchen renovation typically averages a 75% return rate.

However, if your budget is limited, you can try these ideas that will help you get a lovely kitchen for less money.

Replace knobs and pulls

Changing out the knobs or pulls on kitchen cabinets is an inexpensive way to update your kitchen. Get new handles and pulls, but resist the temptation to get something too personal as they tend to get old fast.

A bathroom is an essential part of any home. Updating this space is one of the best ways to boost your home’s selling price. 

Today’s buyers are looking for relaxing retreats in a bathroom that feels more like a spa that just a normal bathroom. As a seller, you want your bathroom to be both functional and stylish.

A full bathroom renovation, on average, can cost up to $12,000 with 87% ROI.

Updating a bathroom can range from a full scale remodel to simply replacing certain items such as mirrors, sink and faucet, installing new lighting, and repainting.

Aside from remodeling, it is also important to make sure everything works correctly, with no leaks or damaged areas. If there are any issues, these must be addressed before focusing on other changes.

When updating your bathroom, it helps to remember the following features that usually appeal to buyers:

One surefire way to boost your home’s selling price is to add more living space. However, instead of just being an addition to your home, you can add a functional and beautiful decking. An outdoor deck extends the amount of space of a home.

Here are some benefits of adding a deck

When done professionally and with careful attention to details, you’ll have a bonus living area that’s easy to maintain all year long with all of its associated benefits. 

Does replacing windows add value to your home? The answer is yes!

One of the first things that serious buyers check when viewing a home for the first time is the condition of the windows. This also includes the ease of operation.

Window issues are also some of the common problems that usually come up during the home inspection negotiations. With outdated windows, sellers usually have to agree to a lower sales price in order to keep the home purchase on track.

Windows are a functional update. A $10,000 expenditure on new windows can increase your home’s selling price for about $8,500, for an 85% ROI.

Here are some reasons why you should consider replacing your windows:

Aesthetics
If your windows are already showing signs of wear and tear, buyers may find this type of visual issue distracting or even unattractive and choose to move on to another more appealing home. On the other hand, new windows can make the whole house look better.

Security
Structurally sound windows with good locking mechanisms are an essential part of any home security plan. With modern, secure replacement windows, buyers will see your home as being much more secure than other properties on their list.

Improved Home Market Value
Smart home buyers are aware that utility rates have been rising steadily. It’s only logical that they want to ensure that any home they purchase will be affordable to heat and cool throughout their ownership.

Energy Star-compliant windows help save on heating and cooling bills all year long. When you install high-efficiency windows, you are offering prospective buyers lasting value that often translates into increased buyer interest and better offers.

Replacing the windows can help your home stand out in a crowded market. It can also raise its value before you list your home.

Keep in mind that buyers love buying houses that are not only move-in ready, but updated with modern amenities. With new windows, you can improve your home’s marketability, which in turn will help you command a higher selling price.

If your garage doors have seen better days, now might be the perfect time to get them replaced.

For most homes, the garage door is the largest exterior feature. It’s no surprise that garage doors can make or break your home’s first impression. By updating outdated doors with new ones, you can dramatically increase your home’s curb appeal and overall value.

Garage door replacement ranked near the top of the list of all home improvement projects as far as return on investment is concerned. A new garage door can recoup an estimated 76.9% of project costs upon resale of the home.

When replacing your garage door, it is important to find a door that complements your home’s architectural style.

Here are other reasons why replacing your garage door is a smart move:

Curb Appeal
Freshly installed garage doors add to the curb appeal of your home. It can provide eye-catching aesthetics and increase the attractiveness of your home to potential buyers.

A garage door is one of the first things prospective buyers and guests see when they pull into the driveway. If you attract them from the outside, you will surely draw them inside.

Improved Energy Efficiency
An aging, outdated, and improperly sealed garage door can be a major source of heat loss in a home. Replacing your garage doors with new ones could help you regain a portion of your investment in utility bill savings, which can also be a selling point since buyers love to save money. Look for a garage door with a high R-value for better insulation.

Security
A new garage door with up-to-date technology appeals to buyers looking for that move-in ready home. Buyers are looking for homes that have maximized protection so a modern garage door is a valuable asset.

Watch the video below and learn how to assemble and hang a new garage door.

The exterior of your home is a buyer’s first impression. If it is in poor condition, buyers will be turned off and won’t step inside. They’ll assume that the interior is also in need repair. That’s the reason why exterior projects tend to rank high on home remodeling lists.

One of the ways to improve the appearance of your home's exterior is by replacing the siding. On average, siding adds a 78% return at resale.

In the annual Cost vs. Value Report by the National Association of Realtors® and Remodeling magazine, new siding consistently ranks as one of the most cost-effective home improvement projects.

Here are some tips to help you with this project:

On a Budget
Vinyl siding is one of the most popular choices for the home’s exterior. It is cost effective and easy to maintain. It is also rot proof and termite proof. It comes in a variety of colors and is relatively easy to install.

Mid-Range
Fiber cement siding is more expensive than vinyl siding. It is a mixture of sand, cement, and cellulose. It also imitates wood-grain remarkably. However, it is important to note that fiber cement siding is typically not a DIY job, so it’s best to leave the installation to professionals.

High-End
If you have enough budget, you can opt for more permanent materials. such as brick and stone. The most common materials are brick and stone veneers, traditional cement-based stucco and newer polymer finishes that mimic the look of stucco. They give the home’s exterior a solid appearance and high durability.

Selling your home for top dollar requires making some upgrades. These projects will give you the most bang for your buck when you sell your home. However, you should not overlook the nickel-and-dime stuff, like light fixtures, faucets and door knobs.

With so many homes for sale, making the right updates can give your house the edge.
