5. Home Maintenance Projects
While all the projects listed above, are sure to appeal to buyers and help you get more bang for your buck; they might not be able to see past an old roof that needs replaced, a musty smell in the basement, a leaky foundation, or a HVAC system that needs replaced.
Buyers know they only have a certain amount to spend on a home and may quickly become overwhelmed on the amount of money they have to spend on the upkeep of basic home maintenance. Save them the worries and make your home more appealing by replacing or fixing these issues.
6. Curb Appeal
You only get one chance to make a first impression. Make it a good one by putting some effort into the curb appeal of your home. If you’ve spent the money to update and remodel the inside of your home, you want to make the outside appeal to buyers so they’ll come inside to see the amazing improvements you’ve made.

- New plants / landscaping- trim bushes, rake leaves, cut down any dead trees
- Update exterior lights
- Paint your front door
- Clean your gutters
- Wash your windows
- Replace your siding
7. More Space
Adding another bedroom or even a sun room can make a huge difference in the price you can list your house for and increase the overall appeal. According to the National Association of Realtors, every 1,000 square feet added to a home increases the sale price more than 30%. Bathroom additions are at the top of the list with an average of 86.4%.
