1. Interior Painting and Finishes
Deep Clean and Declutter - 100% Return on Investment

Lowest in upfront cost in comparison to the other renovations mentioned on this list
Gives your home a refreshed, updated look that will make it easier to sell
2. Finishing the Basement and/or Adding a Separate Basement Unit
High Cost, High Return
Additional living space or the ability to have a second unit for income potential is a great selling feature that will set you apart from other homes that may be up for sale in your area.
3. Kitchen Renovation or Remodel
High Cost, High Return
Renovated kitchens make a home look more desirable to potential buyers. Kitchen's can be a large project that some home buyers are not willing to do themselves. Having the kitchen already updated will entice more buyers to put an offer in on your home over other homes.
4. Bathroom Renovation or Remodel
Medium Cost, Medium Return
Depending on the size of your bathroom or how many bathrooms you have, the cost of renovating a bathroom can range from low to medium.
Like kitchens, home buyers see bathrooms as a bigger job they may not want to take on, and so updated bathrooms become a selling feature to potential buyers.
5.Eco-Upgrades (Shingles, Furnace, A/C Unit, Windows
55-70% Return on Investment
High Cost, Medium/Hight Return
Although features such as shingles, furnace, air conditioning and windows are not glamorous features of a home, they are still very important to home buyers.
Buyers generally do not want to move in and immediately have to replace these large value items. Out of convenience they will however be willing to spend more on a home that has already had these large ticket items replaced.
