According to a Martiz Survey, 63-precent of buyers are willing to pay more for move in ready homes, but strapped cash sellers can find it difficult to maintain their home before and during a sale. So, if sellers aren’t willing to spend money for repairs and updates and that’s what buyers are looking for, where can you compromise to grab the quickest sale?
1) Painting your home is one of the easiest ways to update your space. Fresh paint makes your house look clean, bright and inviting. Think calm neutral colors to create a dramatic transformation on a budget. One of my favorite colors is Benjamin Moor AF-695 Eternity.
2) Less is more! If you’re selling a cluttered home, start packing. Get rid of personalized memorabilia, pictures and accessories smaller than a softball.
3) Have outdated or worn out furniture lying around the house? Be creative! Re-use and repurpose the pieces with this easy project:
4) Once you’ve removed the clutter, made necessary repairs and updates, now it’s time to clean up. Make sure you clean everything from to bottom, especially the kitchens and baths. It’s a cheap way to make a huge impact. So get out those rubber gloves and start scrubbing.
5) Last but not least, another way to update your home on a budget is to get rid of those light fixtures from decades past. Make sure to update the chandelier above the dining table and use ceiling lights from Home Depot (2 Pack for $20) for instant appeal around the home.
