Hi,
My house is built in year 2004 (17 years old). I am considering some redo to get better price on sale in 1-2 years.

I am looking for some advice with reno ideas.

Among these reno ideas, what would be the recommending order to invest for future sale?

1) Kitchen update
2) bathroom update with granite countertop and faucet upgrade
3) hardwood floor on 2nd floor and stairs
4-A) Finish basement without bathroom, or
4-B) finish basement with a room and a full bathroom


For Kitchen:
it has green coloured Oak cabinet (wood grain shown), and light brown laminate counter top
I am thinking to upgrade with granite or quartz countertop, upgrade sink and faucet.
I am not sure what to do with the cabinet.
1) Re-paint with dark olive green (grain shown) with gold knobs, or
2) reface with new doors in dark colour or white, or
3) something else
Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you in advance
