We’ve all heard that kitchens and bathrooms will sell a home.  While that may be truethey do not always see the best ROIThere is no doubt about it, buyers do love updated kitchens and bathrooms, and modern kitchen appliances are an attractive feature, but be realistic with your budget; sometimes a minor kitchen or bathroom remodel is all you need. Be mindful of colors and patterns; keeping it simple poses less risk of turning-off potential buyers. It is best to stick to a neutral color palette and avoid trendy patterns, hardware, and fixtures. Neutral and timeless choices are your safest bet.

 The appearance of your home on the outside is just as important as it is on the inside. When it comes to curb appeaoften some simple do-it-yourself landscaping, a little bit of lawn and garden manicuring, tree pruning, and the like can be very budget friendly and will draw the eye of interested buyers. Interestingly, exterior renovations are said to be the best bang for your buck when it comes to home renovations ROI.
