3 Home Improvements
That Will Help Sell Your House
When it comes to getting your house
ready to sell, you don’t have to pour tons of money into remodeling your home.
It’s mostly about fixing tiny little things that all add up to make your house
seem much more valuable to potential buyers.
1: Fix the Things
That People Can Easily Touch
When potential home buyers are touring
a house, they’re not exactly sure what to do or what to look for, so they
always end up messing with the little things: flicking light switches, opening
cabinets, peering in closets, turning on faucets, etc.
It’s important to make sure that all
sink fixtures, as well as door handles and cabinet handles, look shiny and new.
If you can’t do this by cleaning it, just buy new ones – it’s a pretty
inexpensive cost that ends up being worthwhile when it comes to impressing
potential buyers.
2: Check on Leaky
Faucets, and Have Good Water Pressure
People are likely to turn on your sinks
and bath tubs, so make sure that you have good water pressure that will leave a
lasting impression. Make sure there are no stains or rust on any of the
bathroom appliances, and keep an eye out for leaky faucets. Bathrooms are the
places in the home that people are especially wary, so having these look spick
and span, and functional, can make a huge difference.
3: Steam Clean Your
Carpets and Try a Fresh Paint Job
Sometimes carpets with stains turn off
potential buyers immediately, even if they are easily removable. So set up a
one-time appointment with a steam-cleaning carpet service, and make sure
everything looks clean and fresh – you’d be surprised how much of a difference
this can make. Be sure to also try some touch-up paint jobs. A clean, spot-free
wall can go a long way.
Many people trying to sell their home
end up spending thousands of dollars and racking up a huge amount of debt from
trying to remodel their home in order to sell it – when all you need to do are
a few cheap, inexpensive repairs.
