How Can You Increase Your Home’s Value for Less?

I was just reading the 2013 Cost vs. Value Report from Realtor Magazine and it brought me to a question that sellers are always asking me; what ways can they add value to their houses and what quick fixes/improvements will give them the best return when they go to sell their house. The magazine’s consensus was curb appeal because focusing on the outside of the house is going to bring you the most value.

The article stated the top three mid-range fixes would be replacing the front door, followed by adding a deck and thirdly, replacing the garage door. For upscale fixes, the top three are siding replacement (cement, stucco or stone facade), vinyl siding replacement and window replacement.
