If you’re getting ready to put your home on the market, it might be time for some upgrades. The right home remodel can make all the difference between a home that sells and a home that doesn’t.
You need to be strategic about your home renovations. Especially if you are hoping to sell soon, you don’t have the time and resources to renovate every room in your house. There are always small updates you can make to attract potential buyers and boost your home’s resale value. Try some of these ideas:
Update that Kitchen
Quick kitchen remodeling can make all the difference. Replace the handles on cabinets or drawers, update the sink and faucet, or upgrade the backsplash. Many home buyers are particularly sensitive to the kitchen, so make it as beautiful as you can! Consider springing for bigger projects, like repainting cabinets or replacing an old appliance.
Paint those walls
A fresh coat of paint could be all you need to enhance your home. Stick to neutral color schemes that won’t distract a potential buyer. New paint helps the home look cleaner, and helps the buyer to imagine themselves in the home. This is great to cover up dated colors or wacky kids room paint jobs and create a clean slate.
Hit the Bathroom
Bathrooms are another big selling point, and a little bit can go a long way. Replace the cabinet handles and faucet or add open shelving to assure potential buyers that there’s plenty of storage. If you have more time to spend, try making your bathroom eco-friendly with a low-flow sink, toilet, and shower. They’ll love the beautiful new appliances – and that they can save money on water bills.
Fix up the front!
Create a great first impression with a new coat of paint on the front door. Add flower planters to the front porch, or install a stone pathway to your door. Tidy up the landscape to attract a potential buyer. Make your home as welcoming as you can, so buyers will want to bring their own guests over!
With these quick fixes, your home will sell in no time! They may seem like small changes, but you never know what might set your home apart. The small investment you will make in these changes are well worth it as you see your home value go up and up!
