Adding another bathroom or updating current one
If your home only has one bathroom, you can recoup a large chunk of your investment by adding another one. HGTV estimates that you can recoup 80%-130% of whatever you spend adding a bathroom.

When it comes to finding room in your house for an extra bathroom, take a look at any extra rooms or underutilized spaces. Consider other spaces, such as closets or areas under the stairs, too. If you want a half-bath you need at least 18 square feet. If you want a full bath, including a stand-up shower, you need at least 30 square feet. If you want a bathtub, make sure you have at least 35 square feet to work with for a bathroom addition.

Outdoor area
"There is a definite trend towards upgrading outdoor areas to more indoor outdoor living," says Harris. "An alfresco area in the past was a barbie on the patio where as now the outdoor area is an extra room, an all-weather extension of the house. The money spent on a well-designed all weather area brings its returns when the sale sign goes up. The outdoor area is an emotional driver for buyers. They see the area, imagine themselves using it and already they are sold on the lifestyle it offers." Source: Domain

Modern kitchen
A full remodel is a major investment, but smaller projects make a big difference if you can't — or don't want to — go all out. "Nicer appliances really stick out to potential buyers — even if you're planning to take them with you," Fancher says.

She also suggests replacing tired finishes with fresh, neutral materials. "You don't want to be too trendy, but you want it to look up-to-date," she says. "Everyone loves clean, white subway tiles now, but they're really a timeless look."

Replacing dated countertops (quartz is your best bet, according to Fancher) and flooring is also worth the time and money. Source: Zillow
