Ways to Increase Your Home Value 
No one wants to see tacky walls and broken drawers. A handful of minor improvements can be the difference between selling or sitting. There are a lot of ways to spruce up your listing even on a tight budget. Here are some cost-effective fix-up projects to boost the value of your home.
Get in Sink
Over time water corrodes the seal around sinks and faucets. This not only can cause leaks but lead to icky-looking counter tops. Tubs and their surroundings need some TLC too. Thankfully, resealing sinks and tubs is a relatively easy task. Get some caulk and fill in those deteriorated seals. It goes a long way to sprucing up any kitchen or bathroom. If you are uncertain what kind of caulk is right for your sink, it’s a good idea to inquire at your local hardware store.
Get a Handle on Things
Get a grip on your home’s appeal and purchase some replacement handles for cabinets and drawers. Hardware stores generally have inexpensive options for handles, but whatever style you choose to buy just be sure they all match the same style. Potential buyers will subconsciously like the consistent look in your home and of course a fresher image all around.
Give Your Home a Facelift
Perhaps the most significant improvement you can make to your home is repainting the walls. Nothing infuses a house with new life like a fresh coat of paint. In most cases, you’ll want to go for a neutral tone that gives the house a nice, clean look. Potential buyers will see a bright, blank canvas in which they can picture themselves.
At the same time you do some repainting, you’ll have the opportunity to fill in small holes made by nails and thumbtacks. Unless the hole is really big, most can be fixed with a touch of spackle or similar paste. Most stores carry a specific, easy-to-use nail hole patch which can conveniently be administered through a long-nosed applicator.
You can give your home an additional boost with some wallpaper. Depending on the tone you chose when painting, matching wallpaper can transform any room from ordinary to stylish. If you don’t feel like you have the decorating gene, it’s okay. From plenty of inspirational imagery that can be found online to creative advice from the paint department, there are plenty of ways to get the creative support you and your home need.
