It’s a big step to commit to marketing your home for sale. Whether you’re glad or sad to be leaving, it’s important to get a good price for your house. Levine Homes Real Estate can help with advice on home improvements to help sell your house. It doesn’t even have to cost all that much, hopefully making the effort financially worthwhile.
Let in Space and Light
Buyers want plenty of space and light, so if you have any structures that are interrupting a clear space—such as non-structural walls or kitchen islands—then take them out. Add in light by installing inexpensive lights set into the ceiling. If you have the budget and the time, you might even consider installing larger windows in key areas of the home to let in natural light.
Fix Your Fixtures
Most home buyers want a home to be move-in ready, meaning all of the fixtures are in working order. If you have a leaky sink or toilet, then give it a little tune-up. If necessary, replace sinks or toilets to update the look of a bathroom or kitchen.
Think Energy Efficient
The greener you go with your home, the more breaks you’re likely to catch. Install energy-efficient windows and make sure they are properly sealed. You can do the same with your exterior doors. Use LED lights around the house. Anywhere you can add an energy-efficient appliance or fixture, do it.
Landscape
Sometimes just the appearance of the outside of the home can seal the deal on a purchase. With some efficient pruning and planting, you can make your home look beautiful at any time of the year. This is also one of the most inexpensive ways to change up the appearance of your home.
Find Little Ways to Upgrade When and Where You Can
There are many little projects you can do, such as installing tile on a backsplash or in a bathroom, or trading out carpet for hardwood flooring. Levine Homes can help you stage your home to sell, but don’t be afraid of little home improvements to add value to your house. For more information, call 310-796-9088.
