KITCHEN REMODEL
Many homeowners will consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home, and because of this very reason updating and remodeling this room will pay off. However, remember not to go home, as this may not necessarily mean more recouping of the investments. Never remodel and improve your kitchen to the extent that it is fancier than the rest of the house or even the neighborhood. Investing so much in the kitchen can be more of a burden than a blessing. It should look like a home and not more of a fancy restaurant kitchen. Keep any potential buyers in mind as you decide on how much you want to remodel your kitchen. Many of the buyers will not go for a kitchen that looks fancy instead of homely.
PAINTING

Paint that is low Voc will work to make the place eco friendly and work to also help you and your families avoid breathing in the dangerous chemicals such as the benzene that come off the regular fresh paint.
BATHROOM EXTRAS
Bathroom additions keep modernizing. You can never go wrong with improving the equipment that is in the bathroom. If the home has one bathroom you can choose to invest and remodel by adding another one. If you are wondering where to get the space for another extra bathroom then you should begin by taking a look at any extra rooms that may be underutilized or other spaces that may not be in use such as closets or under the staircases. The cost of all this additions and renovations will largely depend on the type of additions that you want and the cost of this items that you need. Save money by getting them on the lower end but they should all be of great quality.
ENERGY SAVING INSULATIONS
If your home is lacking the basic form of insulation or has old doors that happen to let in a lot of hot and cold air then the home inspectors that will be working with any potential buyer in the future and will without a doubt include this in their report. The homes that have not been modified with the energy saving and efficiency in mind will cost more to maintain and live in this will ward off any potential buyers.
REPAIRS AND BASIC UPDATES

These areas will mostly include the areas around the windows and doors, those around the electrical sockets and light switches, the recessed lighting, the basement and anywhere there are ducts or wires that go to the outside of the house. These basic updates will add more value to hoe than you anticipated.
