When homeowners think of home improvement, return on investment is usually on their mind. Enhancing your existing home with remodeling projects is even more rewarding when the time and money spent pay off in home value.
However, since most major home improvements can be costly, it’s important to know which projects have the highest return on investment. According to real estate experts, some home remodeling projects stand out as the best options for adding home value.
To help you find ideas for your potential home renovations, here are some of the most beneficial upgrades to consider:
Minor bathroom renovations
Bathrooms are a huge source of your home’s value, and even adding minor improvements can pay off substantially. For example, simple changes like replacing your shower head and plumbing fixtures make a bathroom seem brand new.
Other recommended bathroom projects include replacing light fixtures, adding storage solutions and installing low-flow toilets.
Landscaping renovations
Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. Upgrading your outdoor space will enhance the entire aesthetic of your home’s exterior and please prospective homebuyers. Remove weeds and debris, plant some fresh greenery and add a new garden path to your front door.
If you have a backyard, make sure to give it some attention as well. Improving your outdoor living spaces with additions like patios, pergolas and garden beds can help you enjoy them more while also increasing your home value.
Basement & attic renovations
If your home has an unfinished basement or attic, consider taking the time to remodel it into a usable space. There’s no need to make it complicated, either - simple home improvements like installing hardwood floors, drywall and quality light fixtures will add value and potentially double the square footage of your home.
While home improvements can be expensive and time-consuming, many of them bring enormous benefits. Whether you want to refresh your existing space or prepare your home for the real estate market with a full remodeling project, these renovations are some of the best returns on investment to consider.

“Real estate” means so much more to me than simply buying or selling property...I believe it’s all about the people behind those transactions. A house would never be a home without them. That is why my first question to you will always be “what are your goals and how can I help you get there?”
Helping someone to plan and achieve their goals is just as important as listening to what they are. I know first-hand from over a decade of experience just how much it can take to make it happen. With honesty, diligence, and resilience, however, no hurdle is unconquerable. I can guide you through the entire process, always making you feel comfortable, informed, and in control. Like I said before, you are always the first priority.
I chose to partner with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Real Time Realty because, just like me, they realize that real estate agents are much more than salespeople. Every person and every goal is just as important as the last - and Berkshire Hathaway has all the tools and resources to get the job done.
It’s been an absolute privilege to meet some of you and help you achieve your goals. I can’t wait to meet the rest. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or both, I am confident that I am the last agent you’ll need. A better future awaits...give me a call and let’s get started!
