10 renovations that can increase your home's resale value, according to the HGTV's 'Property Brothers'

Storage

"No matter how we try to downsize, we've still got stuff," they write. "And home life is more pleasant if there's a place to put it."

The brothers suggest adding storage in the basement, mudroom, bedrooms, and attic — or all of the above — to make your home a big plus for buyers.

Modern temperature systems

Having up-to-date, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems go a long way, according to the Property Brothers. Not only will they make your home more comfortable, but they could also lower your monthly utility bills.

High ceilings

According to the Property Brothers, vaulting a ceiling isn't always a huge project, and high ceilings "make a huge difference."

Master bath

"A bath attached to the master bedroom in a house is a pleasant surprise, even for homebuyers who don't put it on their wish list," they write.

Durable surfaces

According to the brothers, most people want easy-to-clean material and surfaces like quartz and NeoLith for counters, as well as hardwood or vinyl plank for flooring.

"Try to avoid materials that scratch too easily because you'll shed a single tear when you scuff them up within the first week," they write.

Custom closets

"A great closet system, with shelving and multiple height rods, is a bonus for you and future buyers," they write.

These are especially great if your master bedroom doesn't have space for a walk-in closet.

Finished basement

Though real estate pros argue about this, the Property Brothers think adding a finished storage or living space to a house is worth it. Work can also go on in the basement without impacting your living upstairs.

"It's also one of the least-intrusive but big-impact changes you can make to a home," they write.

Natural light

"We've yet to meet a buyer who tells us they want a dark house," they write.

Having extra windows may also help with increasing curb appeal and updating your home's look, and can help you save on heating and cooling costs.

"Adding or enlarging windows is generally a safe bet if your home is noticeably dark," they write.

Functional, attractive exterior doors

The Property Brothers suggest updating a manual garage door for a new, automatic one, swapping the back sliding door for a French doors, or getting a new front door.

"Updating an old manual garage door with new, automatic garage doors adds both curb appeal and functionality to the exterior of your house," they write.
