Exterior To Do List Before Selling House

Sharon H.
Posted

I am planning to sell my house, the house is located in Los Angeles. The home value is in between $700K to $800K. It is a SFH, traditional 3 bed 2 bath house with open concept. The interior is nice enough but the exterior needs a lot of love and care. Here is a list of potential fixing and estimated fixing price is:

1. Roof (almost end of economic life) - New roof costs $8,500

2. Driveway (Major cracks on asphault that can't be fixed according to a driveway professional) - New paver driveway costs $4,500 or one inch asphault coating costs $1,750

3. Glutters (Still functional but they are from 1980s and the paint is peeling) - New glutters for whole house costs $1,500

4. Exterior Paint (White trim must be repainted, stucco is in okay condition with micro cracks) - New exterior paint with trim costs $3,100, trim only costs $2,100

I have a limited budget on fixing the house before putting it on market. I already planned to spend $3,000 on interior painting and $1,500 on other repairs and landscaping. Which above items do you think will worth my time and money to fix? And how much increase in value should I expect?

Thank you!
