21. Make Over Your Front Door
If you’re renovating your home with the intent to sell, don’t underestimate the first impression your front door makes. According to ERA Real Estate Senior Manager of Program Development Kristin Wellins, people often make up their minds in the first seven seconds of seeing a house. Make an immediate statement with a new front door, or save big by sanding and painting the one you already have. If you pair this with a couple other small projects like upgrading lighting fixtures, your house can look refreshed in no time.
Average Cost: $385 to $607 for the door and the labor to install it.
