New windows
Replacing your windows may seem like a pain, but it will increase the value of your home. New windows are so important because if you don't have the proper windows to match the climate you're in, then this can greatly damage your home. If the climate you live in is cold, then you will need windows that will keep your home warmer and be more energy efficient. If you live in a hot place, then you will need windows that protect your home against the sun and heat. Replacing windows to match the climate you are in will keep the energy bills down and more affordable.

Landscaping
Landscaping makes lasting first impressions on your home. Even if you don't love to garden, at least get out into your yard and pick weeds and make space for some pretty flowering plants with all kinds of heights and colors. Fountains make for a nice calming feel to your home as well. Trim the walk way with small lighting and colorful plants that lead up to larger plants at the door. This is very inviting to someone who is visiting your home.

There are key things you can do on the interior of a home to give it a face lift:

New paint
New paint is such a simple thing that you can do to upgrade your home. Make sure to choose colors that are neutral and rich if you are looking to sell your home. Make sure to use earth tone colors, that will ensure that it will match with any lifestyle and it will never go out of style. You can even add some trim to make a room more classy. Make sure to remove all wallpaper and keep it simple and elegant.

Update kitchens
Giving the kitchen a face lift will make a world of difference in your home. Also, remodeled kitchens are a high commodity when selling your home. You can do simple things such as: reface the cabinets with new doors and drawers, replace the appliances with good quality, energy-efficient models, and update the flooring and countertops (granite countertops are in high demand for home buyers).

Renew floors
