Fix it Up: Tips for Selling Your Home
Where to begin? This is always the challenge when thinking about fix-up jobs to improve the look of your home listing and, ultimately, to increase its chances of selling. Here are three tips to make this process a little easier.
1) Plan it Out
The first step to a successful remodeling project is a list of objectives. It’s far more efficient to lay out specific things you want to improve in your home to increase its value than to randomly spend time on impulsive repair jobs.
2) Light it Up
A great way to boost any room in a house is through good lightning. This is not just about the quality of the light but also the fixtures themselves. Attractive fixtures that match the overall interior color of the house naturally boost the appeal of the interior. For ceiling sockets where there is not much you can add to the aesthetics, you can use some Eco-friendly bulbs to boast a green aspect to the home.
Non-electric lighting improvements that you can do to brighten a room could include lighter-colored accents or a fresh coat of white paint for the walls. A simple mirror can open a room up so that it feels more spacious.
3) Build it Up
Most of the unattractive bits of a house are often not too difficult to fix up, it’s just that they add up and can be overwhelming when you take note of them all. Start with a list of the run-down things that are most obvious to you as you walk through the home you want to sell because these things will most likely be the details that will stand out to potential buyers.
Simple things that can give your house a facelift are improved walkways and steps in or around the home. If you have a series of stone steps leading to the front door that are getting old, replace those cracked stones with some new ones to give it a fresh appearance.
Porches get worn and those splintered boards with holes make a house look neglected, even if the interior of the home is in good shape. A moderate investment will breathe new life into a porch but you can also get the job done with a basic level of carpentry or help from a friend.
4) Start it up
Even if you’re on a budget, there are a lot of little things you can do to touch up your house listing. Whichever way you choose to tackle your fix-up projects, begin with a clear list of jobs you can do. Completing just a small repair job will feel great and inspire you to cross-off more items on your fix-up list.
