Just moved into a new build, so nothing significant. Just having things like blinds, mirrors, towel hooks installed.
My last place I installed a nice retaining wall and firepit and redid all the landscaping. Turned out great, but we never used the yard. Luckily it really upped the value of my house when I sold and I made all my $ back, plus some.

I typically have the best of intentions….however, when it comes to spending a bunch of cash, I am out!

Seriously. Are they fat? Have no hair? Have a micro penis? Please downvoters chime in here.

I always do. Mostly because I have better taste than the seller.

Bought another one not long ago, so I use the address now as my primary...for many reasons
New roof done.....actually today was pressure washing bricks..about to put system (primer/topcoat) specific to painting bricks. I have time here and there to do all the grunt stuff, when not traveling/fishing etc . Gonna get ready and probably have a pro do the actual spraying, while I backroll it
Then will redo landscaping in front. (pro)
Recover back cooking area and upgrade....then eventually pool (after cutting down 2 large cypress) (pro)
Will slowly upgrade or refresh each room inside.
I'm on a year or 2 plan....no rush
I would imagine it will significantly increase overall value from purchase

Also, to raise funds, I sell kilos to local distributor network
Is that significant alterations?

It’s been over 25 years, so these changes took place gradually.
New front yard landscaping.
Repainted a single color exterior with 3 colors: one for walls, one for doors, and another for trim.
Turned a mud room that used to be a porch into part of our kitchen for a social area rather than attempting an open floor plan. Totally remodeled the kitchen. Converted a laundry room into a walk in pantry. All new built in appliances.
Remodeled 2 bathrooms and about to do a 3rd. Might redo those first 2.
Converted an unnecessary hallway into a closet.

I dug a 16x36 foot hole in the back yard and filled it with water

you’re probably right but my hope is to sell it to someone who will appreciate the plants and trees like I do. Maybe I’ll require an affidavit
My house is worth more without my fruit trees and garden. I don't plan on leaving, but if I do I am going to go to a garden board dream, take out the trees, do a modest front bed and some sort of green mono culture yard. My blueberries can probably stay with a couple of citrus, but the rest will need to go.

I mean you could do the math yourself, but
$304 per sq foot.

One place I added a garage and another place I put in a wrap around deck.

County Tax Assessor Collector falsely claims that I significantly improve my property every year.
