Getting Ready to Sell Your Home? Boost Your Selling Price with These Improvements

If you’re hoping to sell your home quickly and get the price you want, there are some steps that are pretty straightforward and simple that can help to boost your home’s appeal to potential buyers.

Curb appeal can be just as important as “location…location…location” in the real estate world. First impressions are critical. When a person drives up to your home, what do they see? Is your home and lawn well-maintained? You need to put your home’s best foot forward to potential buyers or your home may not get a second glance.

After you make sure your home has great curb appeal and you get the prospective buyer through your front door, what will they see?

The first and most logical step is for you to thoroughly clean and declutter your home. That costs you nothing other than your time.

After deep cleaning and decluttering sessions, tackle improvements that cost very little but can add a lot to the overall appeal of your home. One of the simplest and cost-effective improvements is to paint. Consider neutral tones for your walls. The walls will look clean and fresh and will appear larger.

Additional steps to take to boost the value of your home are:

-Update light fixtures and plumbing fixtures.

-Improve landscaping if needed.

-Update your entryway for more appeal with paint, décor, even a new mailbox.

-Replace or clean dirty carpets.

-Store family photos and personal mementos.

-Wash the windows inside and out.

-Remove curtains or window treatments if they darken a room too much or look outdated.

With some time and minimal financial investment, you can increase the value of your home prior to listing it, improving your chances of getting top dollar when you sell!
