Although the intent of this list is to improve a home for resale these items are also things that will enhance your enjoyment of the home you wish to live in for many years to come. It may surprise some that only ONE improvement will add value to your home. A second improvement will break even cost wise and the last suggestion will only show a 10% return (90% of your cost will not be recouped). So why make these improvements? Because if you want to sell your house it will be far down the line of choices as Buyers look at similar properties that did make the improvements.
