From USA Today:
Earlier this year, Zonder media released its Cost vs Value report citing greatest return on investment (ROI). 11 of the top 12 cities were outside the home. Here’s some things you can focus on:

Boost curb appeal
The fate of many home purchases is decided from the walk to the front door. Stone veneer siding, attractive garage doors and a nice driveway have a huge impact on the sale of a home. Well designed and maintained landscape can return 267% of costs. Improve your landscape with bright flowers, lush lawn and clean walkways.

Inside the house, focus on the kitchen. It is where families cook, eat and gather. Also where guests are likely to visit and socialize. Multiple seating options, such as a bar are a help. Energy efficient appliances, quartz marble countertops are also a good idea.

As a Home Inspection Company, we tend to focus on usability, functionality, quality of build and safety. Don’t overlook these and more points that your realtor can give you, to maximize your return. They can give you some great advice!
