I've heard that a general rule of thumb is 50% of the money spent on upgrades you can get out in the purchaes price (this of course goes down as time moves on).
For me, if you are living there for 5 more years, I'd make the decisions based on what you want, rather than what you think will be good for potential buyers. Once that timeline goes down to 2-3 years, I'd start making upgrades with the potential sale of the property in mind.
