If you are thinking to yourself,

• My house is not that old and ALWAYS immaculate.
• It has tile, hardwood, and updated kitchen and baths
• It is in a very desirable Utah location.
• I worked with a Utah Realtor and priced it right where he or she advised.

Then it might just be that your Utah home is missing something that all buyers are looking for. 

Some vision! 

Can prospective Utah buyers envision themselves living in your home? 

If not, you need to help them!  Here are a few “do-it-yourself” projects, all under $500, that may help your home stick out from the rest.

• Add a built-in bookshelf to a room and use a housing decoration magazine to teach yourself how to arrange your items on it.   You can buy all the materials for well under $500 and it will give prospective Utah buyers some sight to how to best utilize the space, as well as make the home look a little more customized.
• Add a few patches of decorative tile to a foyer or bath.  You can buy just a small amount of tile for well under $500 that will match up to your existing flooring.  By mixing up the blandness of all tan or green tiles that you may have in your foyer or bath, you again give your home a customized feel and provide some visual staying power in the minds of the prospective Utah buyer.
• Update a light fixture in your home that might serve as a good focal point.  Possibly in the foyer or in the dining room.  Pick something that has a real decorative punch to it, even if it is not your exact taste (as long as it matches the room though.  You can find fixtures for well under $500 and it may serve as a conversation piece later on as prospective buyer’s recall you home.
