What home upgrades will increase your home’s value? Today we'll cover a few key home improvements that can significantly increase the return on your investment and maximize your home's value. These upgrades are especially relevant as spring arrives, particularly in warmer areas like Florida. Here are three home improvements you should consider doing:

1. Enhancing your outdoor space. This has become increasingly popular since the pandemic. By investing in elements like pools, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits, you can create a seamless extension of your living area and enjoy a greater connection to the outdoors.

2. Adding more usable square footage. This might involve converting a back lanai into a living space or adding a secondary living area with an additional master bedroom. This extra space can be beneficial for accommodating parents or children returning from college.

3. Improving your curb appeal. Simple improvements like fresh paint, flowers, and mature landscaping can dramatically transform your property's appearance. Even in smaller neighborhoods, outstanding curb appeal featuring plants, flowers, and fountains can significantly enhance your outdoor space, no matter its size.
