Inside, Giannantonio suggests checking the door jams and other painted surfaces for areas chipped away by running children. If the paint is dull, or the carpeting is tired-looking, the solutions are inexpensive. If somebody knows they are going to sell a house, I hesitate to advise them to make a large capital improvement. I would spend my money on bathrooms and kitchens. If there is room, install a double sink or a soaking tub.
Skylights are popular in the bathroom.
They are all things buyers are spending money for right now. If you are going to spend money and make capital improvements, add space to bathrooms. If you look at what builders are building today, they are allotting more space for bathrooms than they were 15 years ago. The same can be said for the kitchen. Having a center island built in a large, open kitchen, as long as it does not restrict movement through the room or make it seem cramped, or having a small vegetable sink installed, can add value without a great deal of cost.
