Are you thinking of putting your home up for sale sometime in 2015? Whether it has been on your mind for years or you recently made a spur of the moment decision to pack up and go, selling your home is a process that begins before you even hang up the "for sale" sign. Starting with renovations, one of the first things homeowners often consider is how they can boost their resale value (even if only slightly) before they put a price tag on their home. But which home improvements reward you with the most bang for your buck? Find out below:

Freshen Up The Front: Being that your front yard is one of the first things potential buyers see when they pull up to the curb, it's important to always keep things looking fresh. If spring or summer is when you plan to sell, brighten up the front of your home by planting some of your favorite colorful flowers in your garden or window boxes. Additionally, if your walkway or front stoop is cracked or outdated, you may want to update to give off a better first impression - first impressions are everything!

Clean Up Your Kitchen's Act: Right off the bat most people would agree that an updated kitchen is a huge selling point. If your budget calls for it, any type of improvement to the kitchen is a must if you're looking to wow anyone that walks through the front door. Regardless of whether you update to new appliances, give new doors to your cabinets or simply change the lighting to make the room appear bigger and brighter, any updates you can make to cause your kitchen to stand out is huge.

Add To The Attic: Okay this one's easy, but as you update, don't forget to insulate! If your attic is unused you might not have had any reason to insulate in the past, but taking just a bit of time to do so can go a long way. Since future homeowners will want to know that their hard earned cash won't go to waste in terms of their heating and cooling costs, it's important to have a well insulated attic that will keep the wanted air in and the unwanted air out. 

Last but not least, we certainly couldn't forget about your roof. As a bonus tip, we'd like to remind you that taking care of your roof and repairing/replacing it can play a huge role in your home's resale value. If your Connecticut home needs some roof repairs, a new roof entirely, or some basic maintenance to whip it into shape before your house makes its way to the market, connect with Phil's Main Roofing! We offer a variety of residential roofing services that you can benefit from before you embark on the journey of selling your home.
