A great upgrade here doesn’t have to cost a fortune: • Fresh paint (neutral colors work best). • New backsplash: Stylish and cost-effective. • Countertop upgrades: Quartz or granite are popular, but even updating to something fresh can make a difference. • New faucets: You can’t go wrong with something sleek and functional. • Cabinet space: Add a little extra storage where you can. Energy-Saving Upgrades: Keep the Lights On (and the Bills Low) Today’s buyers are looking for ways to save on utility bills, so adding energy-efficient features can be a big win. Consider these upgrades: 1. Smart Thermostat: For under $300, you can install a smart thermostat that keeps utility bills in check. 2. Solar Vents: Install solar-powered attic vents for about $500-$700, and keep that hot air at bay. Making Space: You Can Never Have Too Much Storage Buyers want storage—and lots of it.
