Selling Your Home: Another Study
According to another study smaller changes to a home can also reap hefty rewards. Any addition that brightens your home (such as new light fixtures) should be returned in the selling price by an average 84% of the cost of the renovation. The study also suggests cleaning and de-cluttering (594% return) and landscaping (266% return).

As an expert on home sales trends in your neighbourhood, your Calgary real estate agent can suggest which areas of your home could benefit from renovation and increase its value and salability.
