Your Home’s Secret Value
Small Upgrades, Big Return
Stop guessing which projects actually pay off
Not every upgrade is created equal. This guide shows you which small, targeted improvements tend to deliver the best return in Georgia—and which projects are more about personal taste than resale value.
You’ll get a clear framework for deciding what to do now, what to skip, and what to leave to the next owner.
Inside this guide, you’ll:
- See how buyers mentally “score” kitchens, baths, and curb appeal.
- Identify low-cost, high-impact updates in each major area of the home.
- Learn when paint, lighting, and hardware can transform a space on a budget.
- Understand which bigger projects rarely return dollar-for-dollar.
- Map your own “upgrade plan” based on timeline and budget.
Who this book is for
Perfect for you if you:
- Plan to sell in the next 6–24 months.
- Have a limited budget and want to spend it wisely.
- Are overwhelmed by opinions from friends, family, and HGTV.
- Want a data-informed, local perspective instead of generic advice.
