Today's buyers love vibrant accent walls, usually in contrast to earth-toned neutrals. However, be careful not to be too bold and too personalized with your color choice. A fresh coat of neutral paint is often a cost-effective solution and an accent wall can make a space look bigger, feel warmer and more up to date.
Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, so it makes sense to spend the majority of your renovation dollars to upgrade these spaces. In the bathroom, new fixtures, a soft color for the walls and sconce lighting will make a world of difference. Add fluffy white towels, flowers and candles, and you have a spa that buyers will love.
In the bathroom, they love glass and stone finishes with brushed nickel faucets and floating vanities. And don't forget the open floor plans that blend kitchen, dining room and family room into a single open space. Seducing today's buyers is almost a necessity in today's real estate market. But how far should you go to cater to buyers' wants?
It depends. Unless you're selling a luxury property, you don't have to buy a professional-grade stove. However, you may want to consider trading your outdated avocado green or harvest gold appliances for stainless steel and buying an inexpensive island on casters to make the kitchen feel more modern. Changing out old, dated cabinet hardware for new knobs and handles is also simple yet effective.
Carpeting is out and exotic woods and travertine floors are in. However, your buyers will likely be as impressed with less-expensive flooring options.
