Buying or selling a home can be a very exciting time, but it also comes with a lot of questions and tough decision making processes along the way. Whether you're buying or getting ready to sell, an investment is being made somewhere along the way, so it's important to make sure that you're getting the most bang for your buck.

If you're preparing to put your home on the market, keep in mind that even the slightest renovations can add value to your home. Therefore, although it might seem like you're spending money you hoped to save, don't forget that it's likely to pay off once the sale is made. The following is a list of just some of the top home improvements that are likely to bring you the most return on investment:

• Front Door: Though it may seem minor, upgrading your front door is sure to add value to your home. Even if you're not looking to completely replace, a quick touch up with paint can make your home look more appealing, increasing resale value.
• Lighting: Today, many homeowners are concerned with open layouts and excess lighting. Before putting your house up for sale, take a look around and see where you can add lighting or brighten up rooms.
• Siding: Even if your interior is top notch and ready to go, you can always add resale value by updating the exterior. After all, it is the first thing potential buyers will see and you need to catch their attention!

In addition to updating your interior and exterior siding, one of the greatest ways you can increase the value of your home is by remodeling your roof. Since a roof is so essential, future homeowners are more likely to say yes if they know that the roof has recently been updated. This is likely due to the fact that they can rest easy by knowing they won't have to worry about leaks, rotting, deterioration, or other common problems for quite some time, if at all! Although it may seem costly, be sure to consider a roofing renovation before selling if you know your home is in need, as a roof that foreshadows problems could be a deal breaker.
