According to Home Light, the home improvements that add the most value to a home are finishing your basement, opening up the floor plan, adding stone veneer to the exterior of your home, installing a steel door, installing a new garage door, touching up your exterior paint, swapping out features in your bathrooms and kitchen, doing a minor remodel, installing or refinishing hardwood floors, painting a neutral palette, replacing the roof, replacing the HVAC system, installing home siding, replacing toilets, installing energy-efficient appliances, installing energy-efficient windows, make your laundry room more accessible, turning your shower into a walk-in shower, and installing a smart thermostat.

Above all else, the most important factor to most homebuyers is ‘more space’. Home Light says, “Homebuyers appreciate ample space. Regardless of income bracket, people who bought a home within the past three years or planned to buy a home in the next three years wanted more square footage.” With that being said, make sure the renovations you perform make the home feel more spacious if you really want it to sell quickly.
