1) Improve your exterior. Curb appeal how does your home look from the street? Make sure you have a lively yard! The prospective buyer should want to walk in the home! Replace old features like doors and siding! According to Remodeling 2024 Cost vs. Value Report. (JLC, 2024). Exterior replacement projects tend to give better returns on investment than interior replacement projects tend to give! For example, manufactured stone veneer yields about a 151.7% return on average in New England. Small changes can make big differences!



2) Improve your interior. Spruce up the insides lively with wainscoting, beadboard, and my favorite crown moulding! Major interior projects in New England, according to Remodeling 2024 Cost vs. Value Report. (JLC, 2024). Major renovations don't even recoup the percentage that minor renovations do. Now if it needs necessary remodeling than yes, it can absolutely boost value. This can empathize the sale to sell faster at the maximum price.



3) What the market is and; Location, Location, Location! Is crucial to the homes price! I recommend selling your home in the spring and summer because there are usually more buyers leading to increased competition and you can show off your beautiful yard to the world!



4) Overall the biggest factors are definitely square footage inside and out and how your home looks inside and out! Small changes can make big differences!
