(BPT) - Its a sobering truth of real estate that sellers often have to spend money to make money. Even if your home is relatively new, you still face costs associated with getting it ready to show, such as repainting interior rooms or hiring professional cleaners and stagers. If your home could use some TLC and updating, spending as little as $5,000 on key upgrades could improve its appeal for buyers and ensure a speedier sale at a better price.
Here are five upgrades you can make for under than $5,000 to help put your home at the top of every buyers must-see list this spring.
1. Upgrade your entryway Replacing an old, dated or worn entry door can be a cost-effective way to ensure buyers get a good first impression when they walk in your house. Whether you choose a fiberglass, wooden or steel model, installing a new entry door can cost a few thousand dollars, yet the return on investment at the time of resale can be significant. A fiberglass entry door returns about 72 percent of its investment, while a steel door recoups more than 100 percent of its value, according to Remodeling Magazines Cost vs. Value report.
Enhance your new door with attractive plantings, fresh paint and clean windows around the entryway to create a memorable, attractive entry for just a few thousand dollars.
2. Increase natural light More buyers are becoming aware of the mood- and productivity-enhancing benefits of natural light, and homes with big, bright windows have always been in demand. Adding windows to a room can be a costly, time-consuming affair. Not so with adding a skylight. For well under $5,000 and in just a day or two, a professional can install an Energy Star qualified, solar powered no-leak fresh-air skylight, like those from Velux America. Professional installation costs nationally ranges from around $900 to $2,325, with an average of $1,400, according to HomeAdvisor.com.
The low installation cost will leave you plenty of budget to enhance the skylight upgrade even further with energy efficiency-boosting solar-powered blinds. The skylight and blinds are operated by remote control and the blinds are available in designer colors and patterns to enhance your dcor. The products, as well as installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit to further reduce the cost of the improvement.
The most popular rooms in the home for fresh air skylights are baths, where they provide privacy in addition to natural light, and kitchens, where they vent cooking odors and humidity naturally while brightening this much-used workspace. Visit http://www.veluxusa.com to learn more.
3. Beautify a master bathroom Bathrooms and kitchens sell homes. Making a few cosmetic upgrades to even a small master bath can help increase a homes appeal and value. For less than $5,000 you can easily repaint, upgrade faucets, replace old cabinet hardware and add decorative touches like designer towels.
If youve already done all that, take a look at the floor or countertops two cost-effective upgrades that can wow buyers. Since counters dont make up that much square footage in most bathrooms, replacing them with granite can cost just a couple thousand dollars. Tile flooring is also a relatively inexpensive way to improve a bathrooms look and usability.
4. Heat things up in the kitchen Kitchen remodels can offer high ROI for sellers, but a full remodel may be outside your budget. If youve already done the obvious like repainting and decluttering its time to look for a few more cost-effective improvements that will appeal to buyers.

5 upgrades for under $5,000 to put your home at the top of every buyer's list
Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 05, 2015
Home & Hearth Outfitters partnered with leading fireplace manufacturer, Enviro, to develop a new fireplace insert specifically sized to fit the small Victorian fireplaces commonly found in Denvers older homes. The Enviro Q1 Gas Fireplace Insert was created due to a high demand and interest from homeowners with inoperative coal fireplaces. Before the Q1 insert, solutions to modernize small coal fireplaces were very limited and usually resulted in entire reconstruction of the chimney or covering the fireplace up completely. The new, innovative inserts have received a great response from local homeowners.
Many homes in Denver built in the late 1800's to the 1920's are still used and are in high demand for their historic appeal, Pete Dines, President of Home & Hearth Outfitters said. As homeowners seek to renovate or remodel these historic homes, the Q1 Insert gives them a way to convert to gas that was not available before. This is the first of its kind to allow homeowners to maintain the original purpose of their fireplaces, by taking an old dilapidated and sometimes dangerous fireplace and updating it to a tested and listed furnace rated heater and fireplaceThis winter was the first season for the Q1 and the demand was phenomenal. We definitely had more interest than anticipated.
Starting in the late 1800's, coal stoves were the primary choice for heating a home. They were usually taller than wide and very shallow, and not designed for ventilation to burn wood. By the 1920s, most cities had access to public utilities, including natural gas and electricity -- which resulted in the decline of coal use in American homes. While homeowners remodeled these historic homes throughout the years, converting a coal fireplace to modern day technology was deemed problematic, since the chimneys were not built to support wood burning and a gas insert solution was not commonly available in these smaller sizes.
The Enviro Q1 insert is the long-awaited solution to historic home renovation. Its beautiful, clean faced gas fireplace brings modern design in an array of different stylistic options from minimal to contemporary. The Q1 uses a high definition log set, tray burner with glass or a coal burner to fit any homeowners stylistic taste.

Reply to: Portage Rebuilding Together, which has helped 192 families in Portage Township since 1998 live better lives.
PORTAGE | When Tom Cznarich retired as an electrician, his youngest son encouraged him to get involved, use his skills and help other people.
Cznarich applied to be a volunteer with Rebuilding Together Portage.
That first year he became a house captain. Sixteen years later, he's president of the organization, which aims to help people in Portage Township stay in their homes, by making repairs, large and small.
"I feel I have a talent. I don't think it is right if you don't share that talent," said Cznarich. Besides, he adds, he thinks he's gotten more back in those 16 years than he's ever been able to give.
Cznarich has seen the organization ebb and flow since it began as Christmas in April in 1998.
"When it first started, Portage was in its building boom," he said. "House captains were contractors who were in competition with each other. The money and donations flowed easily. Then the recession hit."
The group struggled from time to time, but held a building day the last Saturday in April every year, helping as many people as they could. There were hit hard in 2010 when it was discovered the treasurer had embezzled nearly all the group's funds. He's now slowly repaying the debt.
