Replace the front door
Investopedia reported a fundamental steel front door costs around $100 and doubling or tripling that cost, which would still put you at under $500, would mean you could give your home more character and boost its value.
Front doors with sidelights or double front doors will cost more according to HomeGuide, with prices as much as $4,500 on average. Still, you can always opt to give your front door a new paint job if your budget doesn’t allow for a new installation.
Clean your gutters
Having good gutters won’t necessarily increase the worth of your home, but they’ll attract buyers, according to HomeLight.
“People don’t just normally install gutters for the aesthetics of the gutters,” Edmond “Buddy” Eslava, an appraiser with the Appraisal Consultant Group in Mobile, Alabama, told the real estate referral company. “If you needed them and didn’t have them, it would detract value. But having them won’t add value.”
