If you’re putting your house on the market, you want top dollar, right? Some upgrades can give you a serious return on investment — and help your place sell faster.
Here’s what’s worth your time (and money).
1. Refresh the kitchen
You don’t need a $50k makeover. Just:
- Paint or replace cabinet doors.
- Swap out old countertops.
- Add better lighting.
- Upgrade the faucet.
2. Update the bathroom
A clean, modern bathroom is a big selling point.
- Replace old tiles or re-grout.
- Swap outdated sinks/faucets.
- Add a fresh mirror.
- Improve ventilation.
3. Go neutral with paint
Fresh paint makes a huge difference. Stick to light, neutral tones so buyers can picture their own style.
4. Improve lighting
Replace dead bulbs, add warm lighting, and let in as much natural light as possible.
5. Boost curb appeal
First impressions matter:
- Paint the front door or exterior.
- Add plants or flowers.
- Fix fences and walkways.
💡Pro tip: Focus on upgrades with high ROI — skip fancy extras that won’t pay for themselves.
