Most homeowners are faced with the question on how to sell their house faster. Bet many of them are hoping to find answers to avoid further drop in value and for them to get the most returns for their investment.
Indeed, home values are dropping these days. Aside from the fact that the real estate market is nowhere near booming, there are high home inventories in the market. As inventories increase, houses go stale and the values would be dropped just for it to be sold.
That is why every homeowner, who intends to enter the home selling endeavor, should find a way to make their homes stand out against its competitors. But how to make this happen, especially if the competitors are located within the same area. The best thing to do is make updates to one’s home.
When you hear home updates, you may think it is all money draining. Well, you are wrong. There are various way to update your homes without having to shell out much money. Here are some of them:
Kitchen: Some cabinets may be too simple to look at. Well, if you do not want to repaint it or install new ones, why not add moldings. This is a great way to spruce your old cabinets that you love without having to replace them. You can also try to change the backsplash of your kitchen by mixing and matching tiles. Moreover, have all appliances in that area repaired to make them fully functional.
Interiors: The inside of your homes may be a lot of work. But if you do not want to spend a lot, it is still okay. There are cheaper ways to improve your homes and still make it like a million bucks. Take for example: you want more light in your room. The best thing you can do is invest on energy saving lighting fixtures. On the other hand, bring in more natural light into your homes. Change the motif and sway through a more neutral color. Put in a new carpet, new curtains, mix and match stuff.
Exteriors: Everything outside your door will be your front for your homes. Everything around it will be the first thing that catches the eyes of your possible buyers. Therefore, it is very important to keep it presentable and attractive. However, a better plan for a more affordable update is to fix what only needs to be fixed. Any obvious defects should be take cared of.
The best way to attract people is through landscaping. Create a mini-garden by placing flowerpots and other plants around the house. You can even put a lounging area using big umbrellas and unused table and chairs (that has been taking up your storage space). Create dirt paths or pebble paths. Most of all, do not forget to keep your yard clean at all times.
Bathroom: Change the way your bathroom looks simply by changing the design. Moreover, you can do this simply by putting additional accessories like brand new towel holders, floor mats, curtain rods, shower curtains and many more. You do not have to repaint or put new tiles. If you want to change the colors of the room, why not use masking tapes. They make good stripped wallpapers.
