Making the decision to sell a home automatically shifts the homeowner’s perspective of the place they have inhabited for years. This change in perspective means reevaluating what your home looks like to others versus what your personal preferences have been. From minor home improvement projects to major home renovations, real estate professionals would agree that in order to sell your home for desirable price, some changes will likely need to be made. Surprisingly enough, however, is the fact that some of the simplest home renovations can drastically improve the resale value of a home.
With more than 5 million homes expected to sell this year, thinking about valuable home upgrades is important for any homeowner considering putting their house on the market. The following are some of the simplest ways to add value to your home:
- Declutter your home with any unnecessary knickknacks and make sure you keep it clean
- Upgrade the kitchen and bathroom faucets
- Spring for a “new” front door with a paint job and maybe a new door handle
- Consider purchasing new appliance panels to make sure everything is consistent
- Get your carpets professionally cleaned
- Repaint your bathroom walls with neutral colors
- Make sure the landscaping is trimmed and appealing
- Add a large mirror to a room to increase the size of the space (visually that is)
The above small improvements may seem like a waste of time to some, but the reality is that these minor adjustments can pay off big time in the long run.
