Thinking of selling your Palm Coast home? You might be wondering:
“What home improvements are actually worth it?”
You don’t need a full renovation. In fact, small updates can have a big impact. Here are the top 5 upgrades that today’s buyers love—and that help you sell for more.
1. Kitchen Refresh
The kitchen is the heart of the home. A clean, modern look goes a long way.
Simple upgrades:
- Paint cabinets white or gray
- Add a new backsplash
- Update cabinet handles
- Install a modern light fixture
- Swap in stainless steel appliances (if needed)
ROI: 70–80%
2. Bathroom Updates
Buyers want bathrooms that feel fresh and updated.
Easy ideas:
- New mirror and light fixture
- Replace the vanity or faucet
- Clean or re-grout tile
- Add soft neutral colors
ROI: 65–75%
3. Boost Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. If your home looks great from the outside, buyers walk in already impressed.
What helps:
- Power wash the exterior and driveway
- Add new mulch and flowers
- Paint the front door
- Update outdoor lights and house numbers
ROI: 80–100%
4. Paint & Flooring
Nothing transforms a space faster than fresh paint and clean floors.
What works:
- Neutral paint (light beige, gray, white)
- Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring
- Remove old carpet or refinish hardwood
ROI: 60–100%
5. Smart & Energy-Efficient Features
Buyers love homes that save money and feel modern.
Top picks:
