Upgrades under $100
Plenty of inexpensive upgrades — like these — can pay off when it comes time to sell. Part of Eva and I’s listing service is providing our sellers with a complimentary home staging consultation; a room by room punchlist on how to stage your home for sale. The tips below are good general suggestions – and you’ll get more enjoyment out of your now, outside of resale benefits!
1. Add a fresh coat of paint. Paint is one of the least expensive ways to spruce up.
2. Fix minor plumbing and electrical problems. Take care of problems before a potential buyer uncovers them during a home inspection.
3. Add storage. Lack of space can be a deal breaker. Add wire or laminate systems to closets.
4. Let light in. Ditch dark and heavy drapes for simple coverings. Update or add lighting fixtures to give rooms a bright, more updated look.
5. Give kitchen appliances a facelift. Mismatched appliances make a kitchen look outdated — but many appliances can be updated with new doors.
6. Don’t neglect the bathroom. Simple fixes can make a bathroom look more modern. Replace shower curtain, toilet seat, and drab flooring.
7. Update your front door. It’s the first thing potential homebuyers see. A fresh coat of paint and switch out your current lock-handle set.
8. Power up. Rent a power washer and thoroughly clean your house’s exterior.
9. Curb appeal. When it comes to your yard; neat, tidy and add some color!
