PROJECTS TO TACKLE BEFORE SELLING
PROJECTS TO TACKLE BEFORE SELLING
If you’re contemplating selling, getting the best possible price for your home is likely a top priority. If you want to get top dollar, you need to prepare your home for the market. By making small updates before you list, you can increase your home’s value in the eyes of potential buyers — sometimes, a little can go a long way.
So, what updates add the most value?
- FRESH COAT OF PAINT-
Fresh paint is the simplest, most cost-effective way to boost your home’s value when preparing for the market.
A new and neutral coat of paint throughout can go a long way and creates a clean slate that allows buyers to picture themselves in your home more easily.
- CARPET CLEANING/REPLACEMENT- If a deep clean will make your current carpets look brand new, it’s worth the investment (don’t forget about stretching if needed). If your carpets look very worn or dated, replace them. New carpet is affordable, can be replaced quickly, and can give a “new-house” feel.
- UPDATE LANDSCAPING- Your landscaping and curb appeal are the first impressions of your home, so it’s crucial to maintain a well-manicured appearance. Simply mulching, weeding, trimming hedges, and planting new flowers can drastically change how your home looks and draw buyers in.
