Upgrades as I see it.
1) Newer HVAC and water heater
2) Newer Roof
3) Crown Moulding and Finished moulding around lanai sliders.
4) Plantation Shutters
5) Finished driveway, garage, and lanai floor coatings
6) All Closets upgraded with one of the newer storage systems
7) Hardwood or tile flooring and no rugs.
8) House re-pained in the last 5 years
9) Whole House Surge protection and maybe a lightning protection system.
10) Upgraded landscaping.
11) Whole house water filtration and possibly a water softener
12) Irrigation filter
I'm sure there are many others. In a new built home generally there is no #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #9, #10, #11 and #12 and you can't imagine how much money it costs for all these upgrades and time and effort to get them done.

Oooh! I forgot about the Crown Molding... Our home came with that, as well...
And a large paver patio off the lanai, easily 10'X15', instead of the little concrete pad...
And they replaced all the carpeting with LVP...
They put up a hedge behind the lanai, but other than than, no other landscape upgrades...
