If you’re finally ready to put your beloved home on the market, you must take a step back and look at your place through a critical new lens. With some smart, strategic upgrades, you can pump up that perceived value and make your home practically jump off those online listings. Who knows, you might even start a humble bidding war!
Invest your efforts in the following key areas:
The Kitchen
The kitchen is the first room most buyers often consider. This space can clinch or kill a deal. While a full kitchen renovation would be ideal, there are some relatively affordable upgrades that can make a big difference. Replacing dated appliances with sleek new stainless-steel models for example can provide you with an instant facelift, as can painting old cabinets or replacing doors and outdated hardware. Working with a bigger budget? Install new quartz countertops to completely transform your space’s look and feel.
Bathrooms
Like kitchens, baths are also high on most buyers’ priority lists. Old tile, grungy grout, chipped tubs and sinks, and dirty vanities are major turn offs for potential buyers. Re-grout or re-caulk and install new fixtures and lighting before listing your home for sale. Replacing old vanities and upgrading mirrors and hardware creates a whole new ambiance in the baths as well.
Flooring
Nothing dates a home quite like tired, worn-out floors. Are your current wood floors scratched and scuffed? Repairing or refinishing them can elevate your flooring. If your floors are beyond help, installing new flooring might be your only option. Choose colours and materials with a broad aesthetic appeal to create a clean, fresh, and unified look that appeals to buyers.
Painting
The impact of a fresh coat of paint cannot be denied. Airy and open spaces are desirable and dark, dingy hues should be eliminated by painting over them with light neutrals. Painting is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to update any room. This simple step can cover years of wear and create a clean, updated space.
Curb Appeal
Don’t forget about your outdoor space! Lush, neatly trimmed landscaping and a tidy yard will create a great first impression. Exterior upgrades will instantly impress potential buyers. Consider installing a new garage door and shutters, and take the time to power wash your walkways, siding, and outdoor surfaces to spruce up your home’s exterior.
