Make Home Improvements That Pay Off

Put projects that increase the value of your home on your to-do list.

If you're looking for a home improvement project to tackle as the weather warms, consider work that will increase your home's value — something that is a plus whether you're looking to sell or staying put for a while. 

AOL Real Estate offers 10 suggestions for projects that will pay off when, or if, you decide to sell. Here are just a few ideas. 

  • Entryway — Curb appeal is important, so make sure the entrance to your home is attractive. Consider installing a high-quality door. Depending on the door you choose, it could help lower your home energy costs. 
  • Decks — According to AOL Real Estate, building a deck is one of the least expensive ways to improve your home's value. 
  • Attic or basement spaces — Consider undertaking a project that makes use of this space, whether it's finishing the basement or converting the attic into an extra bedroom.
