Before you put your home up for sale, take the time to look around the property. Even if it is relatively new, there are a number of improvements that increase its resale value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. However, not all home remodeling projects are created equal, as some offer a higher return on investment than others. Below are some of the best ones to consider. 

Increase the Property Value With These Home Remodeling Projects

1. Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen remains a favorite room in the home for many and often has the power to sway buyers one way or another. Outdated kitchens improve drastically with home remodeling efforts, such as new coats of paint, cabinetry, fixtures, and energy-efficient appliances. If you have the space and budget, expand the room for a kitchen island or extra counter space.

2. Bathroom Addition or Remodel

An extra bathroom—or an updated one—is attractive to most buyers. Even a small powder room is worth the investment. Remodeling projects, such as replacing the vanity, adding more shelf space, and turning a standing shower into a tub, are eye-catching for potential buyers as well. 

3. Garage Door Replacement

Many garage doors are visible from the street and deter or attract buyers depending on their condition. Wooden doors, for example, offer a timeless quality that complements many architectural styles and increases curb appeal. A new garage door is also a security measure that contributes to home insulation and energy efficiency.

4. Deck Addition

Wood and wood composite decks recoup at least 70-80% of your investment. They improve your backyard’s look, provide more “liveable space,” and offer areas for relaxing and entertaining. Decks with gates are appealing to buyers with children and pets because they provide safe areas for both to play.

5. New Roof

Replacing your leaky or otherwise disintegrating roof is an excellent way to reassure potential buyers. Shingle roofs last 20 to 25 years, while metal roofs last 50 years or more. Regardless of which style you select, buyers won’t have to worry about spending money on repairs or replacements for a long time.
