While some home improvements simply make a home more comfortable for the individual homeowner, many serve the dual purpose of increasing resale value. To maximize return on investment when it comes to home improvements, consider Remodeling magazine’s 2019 Cost vs. Value Report, which determined that replacing a garage door carried a nearly 98 percent return on investment. Replacing windows, adding a deck, and minor kitchen renovations also ranked as effective home improvements to increase sale prices.
For homeowners without the budget for major renovations, even smaller investments can have a big impact on resale value. New interior paint creates a refreshed, clean look for home shoppers, while installing a smart thermostat or other high-tech features can give a home broader appeal. To increase curb appeal, simple fixes such as painting the front door or planting flowers go a long way.
