According to the Cost vs. Value Report*, replacing your vinyl siding is the least expensive way to add value and increase the selling price for your home. Replacing wood windows and performing a minor kitchen remodel ($17,000 or less) tie for second place on the list of high-impact home improvements to help you sell. The third most profitable home improvement to add value to your home is a bathroom makeover ($12,000 or less).
