🔨 High-ROI Renovations

🔨 High-ROI Renovations

1. Kitchen Remodel

   • Minor upgrades (new countertops, updated cabinets, modern appliances) can return 70–80%+.

   • Buyers love a clean, functional, updated kitchen.

2. Bathroom Remodel

   • Update vanities, tile, lighting, and fixtures.

   • Add a second bathroom if your home has only one—huge ROI in most markets.

3. Open Up the Floor Plan

   • Remove non-load-bearing walls to create open-concept living/dining/kitchen areas. Modern buyers prefer airy, connected spaces.

🏡 Curb Appeal Boosters

4. Landscaping

   • Fresh mulch, flowers, trimmed hedges, a mowed lawn—first impressions matter.

   • Trees and shade can also help energy efficiency, adding long-term value.

5. Exterior Paint or Siding

   • A fresh coat of paint or new siding can give your house an instant facelift.

   • Neutral, modern tones help it appeal to a broader audience.

6. New Front Door or Garage Door

   • High ROI (often over 90%) because it's an immediate visual upgrade.

💡 Modern Systems & Energy Efficiency

7. New Windows

   • Energy-efficient windows can lower utility bills and appeal to eco-conscious buyers.

8. Upgrade HVAC or Insulation

   • A newer HVAC system is a big win, especially in older homes.

   • Smart thermostats and improved insulation are also attractive.

9. Solar Panels (in some regions)

   • Great ROI in sunny states with high electricity rates, especially if incentives/rebates are available.

🧱 Added Living Space

10. Finished Basement or Attic

• Adds usable square footage, which boosts home value.

• Great for adding guest space, home offices, or rec rooms.

11. Add a Deck or Patio

• Outdoor living space is very in demand—especially post-2020.

• Composite decks often have a better ROI than wood
