Focusing on the basics such as, replacing the roof, new siding, and\u00a0new energy efficient\u00a0windows are likely going to give you the best return on investment. Small remodeling projects to the bathroom or kitchen are a decent return on investment at around 90% but a larger remodel project you will not get near the return on what you have spent. \u00a0You wouldn&#8217;t want to put a fancy high end kitchen in an otherwise\u00a0low end home. The amenities your house has to offer when comparing\u00a0to the other similarly priced\u00a0homes on the market is inevitably what is going to sell your home quickly or leave it on the market for months or years.\u00a0When selling your home you want it to stand out among the rest of the similar homes on the market so it&#8217;s good to do a little research to see what your competition has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think the most valuable home improvements are?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first and most obvious component to selling your house is listing it.
