If you’d like to sell your Lake Nacimiento home now or in the near future, it’s wise to make some upgrades to an otherwise outdated home. However, it’s also wise to know which home improvement projects yield the highest return on investment, or ROI. Because the truth of the matter is, not all home renovations are equal, and while some yield a high ROI, others don’t.
As your Lake Nacimiento real estate agent, I’m here to share the highest ROI projects for 2020 with you, according to the newly-released Cost vs. Value Report. Among the top 10 projects, nine of them are outside! Buyers are interested in outdoor space and curb appeal, which fits in perfectly with Lake Nacimiento homebuyers, as local homeowners are seeking lake views and spaces to enjoy those views.
Here are the top 10 ROI home improvement projects for 2020:
-Manufactured Stone Veneer – 95.6% ROI. Average Cost: $9,357. Average Resale Value: $8,943.

But if you plan to sell your Lake Nacimiento home soon, it’s smart to choose upgrades that will yield a high ROI, so you’re not just throwing money away on upgrades that might not impress buyers.
