These simple upgrades, although they may only appear to be small details, add value to your home and enhance its physical appearance as a potential investment for a buyer.
Selling your home can be an exciting time, but it is certainly not without its challenges. Before selling your home, many real estate agents will recommend a handful of updates to make to your home in order for it to stand out in the market. These simple upgrades, although they may only appear to be small details, add value to your home and enhance its physical appearance as a potential investment for a buyer. If you plan to sell your home in the near future, consider these five easy upgrades to make your home shine as a listing.
Lighting Updates
A smaller but fairly significant detail of a house, light fixtures can play an important role in adding value to your home. No matter what your personal style is, uniformity of these fixtures is an excellent first step towards a clean and polished look in your home during open houses and walkthroughs as you sell.
Clean and Freshly Painted Walls
While it may be easy to overlook the cleanliness and paint of your walls, this is one aspect of a home that often stands out to a potential buyer. Keep your walls looking clean and new with a deep clean and a fresh coat of paint.
Make Repairs to Windows and Doors
If you’ve been living in your home for a particularly long time, it may be a good idea to check all windows and doors before listing. As potential buyers explore your home, you will want everything to be working properly so that a squeaky window or door won’t detract from the value of your home.
Polished Landscaping
By ensuring that your landscape is well maintained and polished upon the arrival of a potential buyer, you are also ensuring that your property will make a great first impression. Let your landscape complement the new updates to the interior of your home by making sure that its appearance is clean and tidy.
Keep Your Cabinets Clean
As people are checking the storage space in your home, you will want to keep your cabinets clean and organized for a great first impression. Particularly in your kitchen or laundry room, space is a huge selling point for most buyers, especially those with larger families. Consider downsizing as you organize before your move in order to showcase your storage space well to a potential buyer.
