The Top 10 Upgrades That Make Your Home Sell Over Asking

to passing every inspection, selling your home is often a months long feat. One of the most important elements of selling your home is ensuring that you’re getting the most bang for your buck and maximizing your home’s asking prices.

Of course, you can paint your front door and stage your home to give potential buyers the best first impression, but there are a few more simple projects you can check off that are proven to boost that sale price. According to Zillow, there are 10 home additions, ranging from simple swaps to full renovation projects that can make your home sell for well above asking. New Zillow research finds outdoor TVs, outdoor showers, and outdoor kitchens can help homes sell for as much as 3.1 percent more than expected, according to Zillow trend expert Amanda Pendleton.

“These projects are pricey upgrades for a homeowner who’s in the middle of a renovation project,” Pendleton says. “But they are features valued by today’s home buyer who may be willing to pay a bit more to have them in their home. Certain little luxuries can put a home a head above the competition and make it stand out.”
