When you’re selling your home, your realtor may advise you to take a few steps to help your home stand out to more potential buyers like decluttering and staging. However, your home may need a little extra work in order to get it sold as quickly as possible.
Here are 5 simple and effective updates you can make to help your home sell:
Update Light Fixtures
One of the most simple updates you can make to your home is updating the lighting fixtures both inside and out. Lighting fixtures are something you may look over while living in a home, but to buyers, updated, modern lighting can wow someone touring your home. There are so many great options out there that will fit the style of any home.
Repaint Interior and Exterior
Fresh paint can help make your home feel brand new, clean, and inviting! Make sure to go with neutral colors that will attract all types of potential buyers. If your walls don’t need an update, you can make small changes with pops of color on the front door or shutters. According to homeadvisor.com bright colors like yellow and turquoise attract buyers, while black doors have proven they have the best resale value.
Refresh the Landscaping
First impressions can sometimes be the deciding factor to whether someone will buy your home or not. Cleaning up your yard and adding in some bushes, shrubs and flowers can really make your curb appeal pop. Try to keep the area clean of weeds and the yard mowed as well. You can also update your mailbox to take it a step further.
Redo the Flooring
Stained carpet and peeling linoleum are a great way to turn off potential buyers, especially those for looking for a more turn-key purchase. Investing in new flooring will make your home more desirable and will help you not only sell quicker but also for a higher price. Again, make sure to pick neutral colors to attract more buyers.
Update the Kitchen and Bathrooms on a Budget
You don’t have to break the bank to give your kitchen and bathrooms a facelift. Painting cabinets and updating the hardware can make all the difference. Plus, adding in new decorative pieces and staging the spaces can help potential buyers picture themselves living in the space. You can also take it a step further and splurge on a new tile backsplash or new appliances.
