Have you considered trying to do some home improvement projects to improve the house? If “nice” entrances make houses sell for disproportionally more than the cost of those entrances, it would seem as though it makes a lot of sense to invest the time and money (or just money if you want to contract it out) to improve the entrance to your house.
Yes, it’s amazing what a few inexpensive plantings and restaining the door has done. On the other hand, I can’t change the architecture of the house and that is what is much more modest than that of the neighbors. (Think cottage verses pillars.)
We’re currently considering updating the kitchen, but since the kitchen is actually terrifically functional (in my opinion) it might be better to sell the house for less to someone looking for a bargain than to put the money in that.
… but yes, I should research this idea more. I can continue by looking at houses that are similar to mine in higher price ranges and see what the differences are, in order to see which fancy improvements, if any, are consistent with my house’s architecture. Thanks!
