5 Easy Tips to Increase Value of Your Rehoboth MA Home - Most you can do yourself.
When you are contemplating selling your home, you should consider the buyer's tastes, not yours. Buyers must see value supercede the price. So how do you get there?
1. Deep Clean and Declutter- The number one complaint today among home shoppers, is that a home either smells bad or is dirty. Today's home buyers like "Clean".. they want to the ability to "see your house"< and they are easily distracted by personal photos, trash and recylce bins left out, cluttered countertops,pet dander, foul odors and more. If you have a basement, clean it all out. Remove items AWAY from the furnace, hot water tank and electrical panel. BONUS POINT- Rent a Dumpster and/or a storage unit.
2. Wallpaper Removal and Fresh Paint- Paint is cheap. Use neutral colors lik ivory, light beige, light grey/blue, warm light sage colors etc.. You can hire somebody or easily do this yourself. If you have wallpaper, get a wallpaper steamer or rent one. Wallpaper removal and/or them having to paint represents up to $10000+ i off your house( in the buyers mind), and no- they don't want to put it in the offer, they just want it done before they see the house.
3. Get a Home Inspection- a smart idea for increasing value of your Rehoboth MA home- A wise man once told me, we can prevent what we can predict- A home inspection investment is about $300.00. Most home sellers aren't even aware of problems. Don't risk losing buyers over problems that can be solved. Be sure to have your inspector check for mold, evidence of wood boring insects, faulty wiring, mechanical issues, plumbing,roof problems, etc..
4. Curb Appeal- Buyers do" judge the book by it's cover". Be sure your front yard looks inviting, trim hedges, cut grass, plant shrubs if needed, mulch, fix loose handrails, replace broken or missing pavers, and if you cannot re-pave an old asphalt driveway, you can seal it yourself or have it sealed.
