The No-Demo Renovation Projects to Increase Your Home's Value
10.08.2024 - 05:07 / sunset.com / Sarah Yang
It turns out that you don’t need to do a full, down-to-the studs renovation to make your home stand out if you’re trying to sell it. Smaller projects and details can have a big impact, too, according to a new report by Thumbtack and Zillow. The home services website and real estate marketplace company partnered to find the top 10 no-demo renovation projects that can entice buyers. And the best part? All of these projects cost less than $5,000 on average (this depends on where you live, of course).
Both teams combined Thumbtack’s average nationwide cost analysis of projects with Zillow data on the home features that boost daily saves and shares on its platform. More save and shares equal a home that’s very desirable to buyers, which means it might get a lot of offers and might sell for above asking price.
These are the top 10 no-demo projects:
This one makes sense because a window box filled with cheerful flowers can add curb appeal. Researchers found that homes with a window box get 48% more saves and 52% more shares per day compared to similar homes on Zillow without the feature. The average national cost for this project is $100-$150 for professional installation and $15-$900 for materials.

One of the most-debated design choices is a standout for home buyers—the feature gets 37% more saves and 45% more shares per day on Zillow. The average national cost for professional installation is $275, not including buy-in the shelves themselves.
The report found that homes with painted brick get 31% more saves and 39% more shares. Thumbtack says that the average national cost is $1.85-$3.03 per square foot and for the entire job, it’s $4,600-$7,600 (which includes labor, material, and equipment).

This Vintage-Inspired Home Is Better Than the Barbie Dreamhouse
A couple of the Sunset editors were talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse the other day. And we had a hot take: Although it’s an iconic home (with a slide, pool, and a color palette that childhood dreams were made of), it’s not the most attractive-looking space from an interior design or architecture standpoint. Sure, it has some touches of mid-century modern style and an extremely cohesive color palette, but we think not very many people would want to live there IRL. On top of that, it doesn’t really look homey or comfy. And all of that’s okay, because the house is for a doll and make-believe moments. What’s a human who wants to live out their Barbie fantasies to do?
