If you’re trying to sell your home, a few quick and relatively inexpensive improvements can help you sell your home faster, while potentially putting tens of thousands of extra dollars in your pocket.
Let’s say you’ve decided to put your home on the market. Read these pre-sale home improvement tips before you get your home appraised and before you offer it up for sale. You won’t regret it.
Make a remodeling plan
Write a list of all the improvements you’re thinking to make on your home before you put it up for sale. Then prioritize the list by improvements that will increase the value of the home and make it easier to sell. Balance the list by the cost of the improvement and how much it will increase the value of your home and carry out the improvements in this order.
Work on one room after another
Stay focused and be careful not to spread yourself too thin. By focusing on just one room at a time, you can conserve your energy and tackle your home improvement projects faster.
Consider small projects that have the biggest payoff
Easy projects like replacing faucets and fixtures can increase your home’s resale value in surprising ways. The details count in these cases. A new coat of paint is also relatively easy and inexpensive to apply to the interior and exterior of your home but it can offer you a big payoff in resale value. What other simple projects can you think of like this?
Keep your house as clean and sparkly as possible
Clean homes will sell faster and bring in a higher price. By taking time out to deep clean and maintain the cleanliness of your home while prospective buyers are looking at it, you will improve your chances of making a sale. Having a hard time keeping on top of the cleaning tasks? Consider hiring a professional cleaning company to come once or twice a week. This expense may seem abnormal for you, but if it can help sell your home faster and for more money, it’s well worth the money.
