Which Upgrades Give the Best ROI When Selling in This Area?

Homeowners love the idea of upgrading before selling—but not all upgrades make financial sense. In fact, many sellers spend money in the wrong places and never see it back.

Josh Finigan & The Finigan Group approach upgrades with one rule:
👉 If buyers won’t pay for it, don’t do it.

What “ROI” really means when selling a home

Return on investment isn’t just about resale price. It’s about:

Higher likelihood of strong offers
Faster time on market
Fewer concessions during negotiations
Cleaner appraisals and inspections

Josh evaluates upgrades based on buyer behavior, not personal taste.

Upgrades that consistently perform well

Across Charlotte and surrounding markets, Josh sees the best ROI from:

Fresh, neutral interior paint (removes visual objections immediately)
Lighting and hardware updates (cheap, high-impact)
Minor kitchen refreshes (painted cabinets, new hardware—not full remodels)
Flooring repairs or replacement where condition is clearly dated or damaged
Curb appeal improvements (landscaping, pressure washing, front door refresh)

These upgrades help buyers feel comfortable paying top-of-range prices.
