Mini Makeover

Thinking of selling, or maybe just want to increase the value of your home? Here are some top ranked improvements, listed by highest rate of return, sure to give your property a double take.

1. New Front Door- A front door is the first impression of your home, have you ever heard of home buyers specifically envisioning their home with a 'red door'? It is just as if not more common than the picket fence cliche, and who knew, simply switching out your front door has a return on investment at 98%





2. Replace Old Siding- Think of this as microdermabrasion for your home- it can lift 10 years off the face of your most beloved investment. There is nothing as unsettling for a potential home buyer to walk up and notice the peeling of weather stained siding and dry rot damage. Return on investment, an impressive 84%




3. Minor Kitchen Remodel- It's not always necessary, or fiscally responsible to take on a full kitchen gut/remodel. Painting older darker cabinets white (which is the most desirable kitchen color), replacing old knobs with fresh sleek modern brass handles, and trading up to matching appliances is sometimes all you need. Return on investment, around 82%




4. Garage Door Replacement - This goes along with the front door replacement concept, it is a relatively small improvement for maximum aesthetic (and sometimes functional) results. A new garage door not only improves the exterior appeal of your home, but also puts home buyers at ease that it's going to open and close as promised. Return on investment, a sturdy 81%



5. Deck Addition - Especially for homeowners who live in mild climates, a deck addition completes the indoor/outdoor living concept by providing usable outdoor space to entertain guests or to simply unwind on a patio chair underneath a massive canopy. Whether or not you are actually relaxing in the south of France, this return on investment will still garner 80%
