Investing big bucks to fix everything in your home, isn’t always the smartest move when selling. Buyers typically look at kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and open concepts. However, figuring out how much to spend on a home improvement project is tricky.

By looking at what can give you the highest Return On Investment (ROI) can save you money and help sell your home.
kitchen
Are you interested or planning to remodel your kitchen? We all know kitchen projects are not a straightforward renovation project and the cost of remodelling varies. So I asked my kitchen manufacturer and good friend George, what most homeowners are looking for in their kitchen projects. Remodelling your kitchen is one of the wisest decisions to make since you spend a fair amount of time there. Here are some things that you need to consider: increasing vital space, functionality, style, and entertaining potential. According to the experts, the Return On Investment (ROI) for a kitchen renovation is about 65%. Kitchen and Bathroom help sell your home more quickly since most new home buyers prioritize the kitchen and bathroom when determining the quality and value of a house.

The open concept floor plan tends to quickly attract buyers’ interest and may even increase the house price as a result. The layout can create beauty, flexibility and the ability to bring everyone together. Hardwood flooring also appeals to buyers because it is easier to clean than laminate. Hardwood flooring can also be repeatedly sanded and refinished providing a longer lifespan, where scratches and damage to laminate flooring tend to be permanent. Never under-estimate paint, like hardwood flooring, paint can really add value to your home.
bathroom
Besides the kitchen, bathrooms are the next most popular area home buyers tend to look at when choosing which house to buy. Again, on average we tend to spend quite a bit of time in the bathroom. Depending on your budget, remodelling or renovating a bathroom is something that you may want to look at before buying/selling your home. The return on investment (ROI) for a bathroom renovation is about 60%. Some things to consider are layout, functionality, style, type of finishes, bathtub or a standup shower, to help sell your house quickly and for more money. When a bathroom is complete it can feel like a sanctuary.
