Are you thinking of selling your property? We sell property all the time, and we would like to share with you some of the secrets that have helped home owners sell faster and get top value for their home.Here are some of our top tips:
Least expensive improvement:
De- Clutter
This cannot be overstated. Potential buyers want to be able to see themselves moving into your home and making the space their own.
They cannot appreciate the space if they cannot see it!
For some people this is harder than others, of course, however if possible; donate, throw away or put in storage. It makes a huge difference!
#1 Renovations
Not all renovations are equal. Kitchens and bathrooms top the list for ROI or Return On Investment.
At the heart of the modern home, a kitchen can make or break a sale. A functional and neutral refresh will increase value and saleability. Consider new appliances, backsplash, cabinetry or hardware.
Buyers appreciate a fresh, clean and modern bathroom. Consider adding double sinks, upgrading the shower unit and refreshing the paint for the best return on investment.
If cost is an issue paint and hardware are the place to start, Important note:
If your roof, windows or heating system needs upgrading, prioritize those over cosmetic changes.
#2 Energy Efficiency Upgrades
Anything that reduces energy use and costs will attract buyers and increase value. For the best ROI, enjoy living with these upgrades for a few years before you sell to reap the benefit of lower bills.
#3 Curb Appeal
Not everyone is a gardener, but sprucing up the approach to your home is a big asset when selling your home.
Sometimes its as simple as applying a bit of paint, cleaning the siding or adding a colourful pot of flowers.
Its about giving potential buyers a feeling that they can see themselves coming home!
#4 Modernize Interior:
This usually mean fixtures, flooring and lighting.
A new and fresh light fixture can really bring impact to a room!
Updated appliances are always a bonus to a potential buyer, and add to a potential buyer's impression that this is a good investment for them.
Be sure to keep receipts & manuals.
