You can increase the value of a house in SO many ways, however, it is easy to over capitalize!

What features do you think would be worth doing to your own to significantly increase its value?

Pool?
Large patio?
Renovated bathrooms?
Solar panels?
Etc !

My opinion would be neat and tidy outdoor area with a large patio to greatly increase the value of a house .

Definitely tidy the yards front and back, re-mulch garden beds for fresh tidy look, and clean and tidy back deck area, to enhance area for relaxation.

Solar panels is an interesting one. I sold a house recently, and although it was advertised as a clear feature of the home, completely unknown what effect it had on the final price (my guess is not a lot of any). Suffice to say, it’s best to invest in solar if you plan on living somewhere long term and you can experience its financial benefits and possibly save money in the long run.

No pool. I live close enough to water. Also, not everyone wants the maintenance of a pool.
We have a patio.
The bathrooms of our 25-year-old home aren't in disrepair yet.
Our kitchen is large. We would have to replace appliances like hob and built in oven.
I'd put in a hard floors.
Solar panels and a storage battery would be a good investment.
We have ducted aircon.
I also think most people are looking for a smaller garden that is low maintenance, so that would be something to do.
