So, you’re selling your house. Something that almost anyone who ends up selling their property prioritizes is not only the price that they can sell for, but also how quickly they can sell it.

There are a few tips and tricks out there that can maximize both of these things, including hiring a skilled real estate agent, selling during the right time of year, and studying the market.

Additionally, there is one thing that any seller can do, regardless of budget, to increase the home’s value and watch it fly off of the market in no time: home improvements.

We’re going to discuss five home improvements that increase home value.


1. Boost Curb Appeal

The first thing that any potential buyer will see is the outside of your home. While a clean and healthy landscape is a must, it’s a new door that’s going to yield the highest return on investment.

According to the Cost vs. Value Report by Remodeling.com, a new steel entry door can result in a 91.3% return on investment. Sometimes, simple improvements go a long way. That, and other curb appeal ideas, can really boost the value of your home.

People first see your home’s exterior, so make sure it has some curb appeal.
