The Top 10: Tips to Add Value to Your Home
Clean, Organize, and Neutralize Your Space: Unclutter your house to make it look bigger and cleaner. Buyers need to be able to envision their own belongings in the home,
so avoid using bright colors and too many personal effects.
Keep your lawn green: Get your lawn in shape. A patchy lawn takes away from the
home's overall appearance. Your local hardware store has supplies to re-seed
those unhealthy areas.
Add insulation to save energy: The most inexpensive way to increase your
home's energy is to add insulation which can reduce heating and cooling costs by more than 25%.
Update Kitchen Appliances: The kitchen is often the room that buyers gravitate towards first, and an updated kitchen can help sell your home. You don't have to remodel your kitchen to give it a new look. Updating your appliances to the current standard and replacing cabinet doors and hardware can make a big impact at a relatively low cost.
Update those bathroom fixtures: A little change can go a long way when it comes to the look of your bathroom. Updating simple fixtures such as your sink and faucet can give any outdated bathroom style. And, according to Bankrate.com, minor bathroom remodels typically return over 100% of the initial investment.
Build a fence: If you're trying to sell a house, the appearance of a fence adds
value to the home overall. Buyers with children or pets will appreciate the privacy
and security of an enclosed backyard.
Repair the gutter: Ensuring that your gutter is clean is crucial in protecting your
home against water damage.
Light up the outside: An easy and inexpensive way to increase your home's outdoor
space is to add lighting. It makes it more appealing and safer.
Store and organize: Ample storage space is a plus, especially when it comes to
garages and closets. Efficient closet structures can help keep your clothes organized
and can save space.
Polish off the basement: Rather than adding an additional room, it is more
cost-efficient to remodel your basement. This adds value and usable space.
