Prioritizing Home Improvements for Value

A homeowner has a budget of $25,000 to increase the value of their 15-year-old house before selling it. The house is structurally sound, but the kitchen is significantly outdated with old appliances and laminate countertops. The exterior paint is also faded, and the front yard landscaping is very basic. Based on your understanding of how a homeowner can directly influence their property's value, which project would you recommend they undertake to achieve the highest potential return on their investment? Justify your reasoning by comparing the likely impact of renovating the kitchen versus repainting the exterior and upgrading the landscaping.
