How to Increase the value of your home before selling

Are you ready to sell your house? I hope you are not! Rather, it is the optimum time to roll up your sleeves and get to work! After all, it entails a lot more than just putting a “for sale” sign in front of your house or uploading some graceful photos of your home on the internet-especially if you are angling for the most cash.   The journey of selling a home can be pretty long but you need to exercise some measures to improve the quality of your house. Your house will be much more valuable before selling it if you follow these tips:

1. Add a room

Making some sort of extension on to the property adds value to it as bigger homes often command higher values. Like, if you are intending of selling a two-bedroom house, then make it a three-bedroom house before you sell it.

2. Paint it

One of the most cost-effective and simplest improvements of all is to paint your home. Freshly-painted home spells value and looks updated. But before you select the paint colors, always keep in mind that neutrals attract to a large number of people and makes your home much more desirable. So purchase a few gallons of paint and get busy!

3. Clean up your lawn

Overgrown and outsized bushes will degrade your home for sure. So tame your jungle as soon as you can. Hire a lawn-service company to shape your hedges and trim your lawn before you convince someone to buy your home.

4. Try landscaping

No doubt that colorful plants and shrubs will add beauty to any home. Install container plants, especially large tropicals at doorways where people would enter and exit from the home. This is one of the most overlooked features in the process of selling home.

5. Spruce up your bathroom

This is one thing which the people, especially the buyer will definitely look into! So try to renovate your bathroom. Even if your budget does not allow you to fully remodel, make small changes like replace the old lights, replace faucet leaks or replace dated wallpaper with a textured finish that leaves a good impression on the buyer.

6. Kitchen renovation

The kitchen is the heart of your home. You can increase the value of your home if you have a nice kitchen. So try to replace its tiles, add a splash of color with a new backsplash, replace the stained sink and thus make your kitchen rock before you sell your home.

  7. Depersonalize your space

It is very important to remove all distractions from your home so that the buyers can visualize themselves and their family living here. Ensure to remove all family photos and personal items as it degrades the insight of the buyer. Give him a blank canvas in which he can project his own vision.

8. Update your light fixtures

Hang an eye-catching light fixture such as Edison bulb or chandelier, in a couple of areas to beautify your home. These eye-getting components will enhance the apparent estimation of your home, giving you an edge over the area rivalry.

9. Power-wash dirty surfaces

Try to remove the sticky dirt from the surface, especially from the floors. With very little effort, you can make grungy surfaces look brand new. You can rent a power washer to clean the paved surfaces. Also, don’t forget to clean your windows.   So these insights must serve as a starting point before selling your home so that they make it much more valuable than our thoughts.
