As a homeowner, it may seem to you that any improvements made to your home should increase its value, but as we've mentioned before not all home improvements are equal. So, should you be thinking about selling down the road it's a good idea to focus your energy and budget on improvements that will bring the most return on investment when it's time to move. We've put together some of the changes you can make to your home that are sure to improve the resale value, whether you're listing your home next week or next year!

Energy Efficient Features
Including energy saving features can not only improve your resale value but it can help you save on energy bills while you still live in your home - it's a win win all the way! Some of the easiest energy solutions include things like upgraded windows, better insulation, a whole home fan, or even solar thermal heating. Any of these will help keep you more comfortable and add some dollars to your selling price.

Update the Kitchen
It's the heart of a home! A lot of your real living takes place in the kitchen, and as such it can see a lot of wear and tear. Not to mention, home trends that seem all the rage now may not be so trending when it comes time to sell. So, consider ditching those fluorescent lights and wood grain cabinets for something more in style when selling time approaches.

Landscaping
Whether you own a sprawling estate or a modern Idaho tiny home, the front of your home is usually the first thing potential buyers will see. The curb appeal, as it's called in the real estate business. That's why it's always a good idea to spend a little budget outside, get the house soft washed, maybe repainted, or consider adding some new mulch to old flowerbeds. A little can go a long way with curb appeal!
