My mother in law is planning to put her house up for sale this spring. Which of the following updates would be worth doing?
All of these items are currently in good working condition
Replace original windows with vinyl
New kitchen countertops (the current ones are very 70′s)
Patch/replace crack in concrete driveway
Replace original wood garage door w/ new vinyl door
Replace all original interior doors w/ new 6-panel doors
Both of the bathrooms were gutted and replaced in 2007, the roof is approximately 10 years old, the gas furnace was replaced in 2006, the hot water heater is not even 1 year old, and all of the flooring was replaced in 2007, so she has put a lot of money into the house within the past couple of years, and is wondering what else should be done to get the most out of her home.
