5 Different Ways to Increase Your Home's Value before Listing It for Sale

When it comes time to sell a home of course you want to get top dollar for it.  Home sellers are always looking for ways of making their homes more valuable. Here are a few ways to boost your profit making chances and make your home sell quicker.

 

 

1. Improve landscape appeal

The landscape appeal makes a significant difference in real estate business. An appealing landscape will be impressive to many prospective buyers.  On the other hand unkempt landscape results in failed sales. I one time had two identical houses in a subdivision side by side.  The first sat on the market for 5 months and sold for $180k while the other sold in 3 days for $220,000. The only difference was that the hire priced one had a beautifully landscaped yard. To increase your home’s value you need to improve your overall curb appeal. Ensure that your lawns, flowers and grass are well maintained in a neat manner.

 

2. Upgrades

It is imperious to ensure that you give prospective buyers a pleasant impression and confidence that they are purchasing a good home. Home remodeling increases home value enormously. You can improve your home valuation by replacing damaged hardware, faulty heating and cooling, plumbing systems, broken windows among others. You can easily add up to a few thousand dollars in value to your property just by identifying what is broken and worn and fixing them.

 

3. Lighting fixtures

 Lighting up your entire home and landscape can work wonders in adding value to your property. Most prospective buyers feel secure when there is maximum light in homes. Replace all malfunctioned bulbs and lampshades .You can also maximize your home lighting by ensuring that your windows allow enough light during the day for easy viewing. Be creative and innovative with your lighting fixtures including both interior and exterior lighting to make the place irresistible.

4. Painting

 

Consider giving your walls a thorough make over through painting. It works excellently in making the place look brighter and more appealing. A fresh coat of paint will give you that bright clean look on your walls or floors, kitchen cabinets, ceiling and doors adding more value to your property.

 

 

5. Home cleaning

Making a pleasant first impression is imperative when considering selling your home. Ensure that your furniture, carpets, rugs, walls, flooring, bathrooms among others are intensively cleaned to make the place sellable. Uncluttering your home before listing it for sale will make it more appealing to buyers.

Good stuff here in your post, Rain Silverhawk Another way to increase the value is also try to pick-up the neighborhood of any litter or junk if neighbors will cooperate. Buyers buy the neighborhood, not just the house.
