When renovating to sell, you want to be more strategic with the projects you take on. Whether you are selling now or planning to list in a few years, you want to prioritize projects that will generate the highest ROI to make the most out of your home. Here are a few projects that have been proven to get the  best bang for your buck.

Transforming Spaces With Paint

A  fresh coat of paint can drastically improve the overall appearance of your home and is hands down the most cost-effective renovations. New paint throughout the home makes a home feel fresh, but if painting the entire house is not in your budget, focus on the most highly trafficked rooms like the kitchen, living rooms, and bathrooms.
It’s important to keep in mind that when painting, some colors could hurt your sale more than they help. Steer clear of anything too trendy. Keep in mind that buyers will respond best to a neutral, timeless space that is a blank enough slate that they can envision themselves in.

From The Ground Up

Flooring plays a crucial role in setting the tone for your home's overall aesthetic and functionality. Worn-out carpets, scuffed hardwood, or outdated tile can instantly turn off potential buyers. Updated floors appeal to almost every homebuyer and can be done quickly and cost effectively. While replacing carpet with hardwood or LVP will make a big impact, even simply getting your carpets professionally cleaned will signal to homebuyers that they are standing in a well-maintained home.

Curb Appeal

The exterior of a home is often the first thing a buyer sees and can set the tone for how they perceive the rest of the home. Especially for today’s post-pandemic buyers, exteriors are ranked amongst the highest priority for buyers. No matter the season, taking the time to clean up the outside of your home will give buyers a good first impression to carry with them as they tour the rest of the home. Mowing, mulching, and weeding are cost-effective and quick solutions to elevate your exterior.
