Improving the exterior of your home is always on our list of recommended updates, especially for prospective sellers. Home seekers often make a decision about their home before they even get out of the car. Plan to spend part of your home improvement budget on increasing your home's curb appeal. Simple and inexpensive solutions, such as installing new hardware, a new welcome rug or planting colorful flowers along the entrance, can go a long way when it comes to selling.
While the systems aren't very “sexy”, they're extremely important for house hunters. Sunrooms, on the other hand, offers one of the lowest returns, only 52%. So make sure you spend your funds on a true outdoor space. If you're selling soon, strive to create an inviting outdoor space. Add a flagstone patio or fire pit.
Deducting the expected resale value from the potential increase in home value is an essential step in determining the return on investment (ROI) of improvements.
