Make your home larger and lovelier without spending money. One easy step for your house to appear larger and more appealing is if clutter is eliminated and furniture and household goods are reorganized. The number one thing to do is clean out the closets.  Buyers are looking for larger space and when they open the closets, they need to think, “My, what large closets and so much room for our things.”  You might have to put your own things in storage while your house is for sale.  This is most important.  Secondly, have a garage sale.  When you decide to sell, use the old motto, “When in doubt, throw it out!”  Choose things to sell. Go room-by-room and closet by closet, and study each piece of furniture.  Do the same in the garage. Your house is loaded with money!  Saleable items!  Let those buyers see how spacious your home is on the first day your property is shown. Examine the walls and windows. Do they need brightening up? Or do they need repainting or new window coverings? Be objective.  Get a second opinion, if need be from a friend who you trust to have good taste.  Also, study the front of your house.  Spruce up your yard with pretty flowers.  Have a professional window washer do your windows.   My, the buyers will be mighty impressed with your spacious and very clean house.  This means extra money in the bank for you. Home Improvements. Which types of things will increase the value of a home the most?  Be cautious about spending money on updating a kitchen or bath.  This can be costly.  Be sure that these rooms are spotlessly clean and shining from top to bottom.  Also, be sure that these rooms are in first-rate condition. Making improvements to a home can boost the selling price of the property substantially beyond the cost of the renovation, and even mean the difference of whether or not the house sells at all. When contemplating an upgrade, a homeowner is wise to consider which renovations are not only needed, but will enhance the value and appearance of the home the very most. But, be cautious.  A new carpet in the den will do the most good.  An inexpensive carpet will do just fine. Evaluate the home from the buyer’s point-of-view. Renovations usually accomplish two objectives: they improve or update the physical condition of the home and add features.  Before embarking on any ambitious project, sellers should first confirm that their money wouldn’t be better spent on more basic work, such as replacing carpeting.  Assuming the house is otherwise appealing, the kitchen is usually a central area of the home. And it is a main workplace where modern convenience is expected. Buyers are attracted to bright, cheerful, user-friendly kitchens. They expect floors and counters to be in good condition as well as appliances to be in working order. It is also advantageous to sellers that their kitchens have a lot of cheerful lighting.  Cabinet space is also an important feature in a kitchen and can be maximized by adding inexpensive organizing and space saving devices available at home improvement stores. For older kitchens, scrub, scrub, scrub.  It’s also less expensive than doing a complete rebuild.  You are very used to your own kitchen and you must find out what buyers are looking for.  Better to be spotlessly clean than to err in changing the kitchen.  1 2 3 4 5 6  Previous Page       Back Home
