If you’re planning to list your home in the fall or early winter, now is the time to start making smart improvements that will help you attract buyers and maximize value.

Top High-ROI Projects to Consider:

• Interior paint: A fresh coat of paint in modern, neutral tones (e.g., soft white, warm greige) can brighten a room and make it feel brand new.
• Lighting upgrades: Swap outdated fixtures for modern ones. Consider dimmable LEDs or statement pieces over kitchen islands and dining tables.
• Flooring refresh: Refinish hardwoods or replace worn carpet with LVP or modern textures.
• Kitchen and bathroom touch-ups: Update cabinet hardware, add a new faucet, and consider resurfacing counters if replacement is too costly.
• Front door facelift: A new door or a fresh coat of paint can significantly improve first impressions.

Don’t Overdo It: Not all renovations are necessary – and can, in fact, be harmful. Avoid over-customizing or doing major projects unless advised by a professional. Stick to upgrades that have broad appeal and solid return.
