POINTS TO REMEMBER:

• Buyers are willing to pay more for homes that require no renovations. • Many projects, such as painting, lighting, and minor repairs, can be inexpensive. • Inspectors can ensure your home has a sound roof, foundation, wiring, heating and air-conditioning system, and other features important to buyer safety and satisfaction. • Not every home improvement will return dollar-for- dollar ROI upon sale.

BEST ROI HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

Interior painting: If you are willing do the painting yourself, this is one of the few projects that returns over 100% of your investment. In particular, one or two neutral colors painted throughout the house is very appealing to potential buyers. New entry door: Replacing your front door with a reinforced steel entry door has an average 97% return on investment. These types of door are very low maintenance and improve both your home’s curb appeal and energy efficiency.
