If you’re thinking about selling your home soon, consider the fact that not every home upgrade will give you a great return on investment. However, there are four improvements that will.
The first upgrade that we typically recommend is minor—and I stress, minor—kitchen repairs. You don’t necessarily want to pour a lot of money into new cabinets, especially if yours already meet today’s standards. That said, changing out the hardware, appliances, and putting in a nice piece of quartz will make your kitchen feel as good as new (or even better) in the eyes of a buyer. If you’re thinking about a major renovation, let’s talk before you invest the money; we want to be sure that you’ll get a return on your investment.
The second upgrade that almost always pays off is a fresh coat of paint. Nothing freshens up a home better! Choose a light, bright, and neutral shade that’s appealing to everyone. There are two colors out now that seem to strike a chord with the majority of buyers in today's market, and I’m more than happy to discuss which choices will make the most sense for your home.
"New flooring is a surefire way
to grab a buyer’s attention."
The third upgrade that buyers love is new flooring. If you have old, worn carpet or outdated tile, upgrading can bring a world of good to your property and make it feel modern. New flooring is a surefire way to grab a buyer’s attention.
Lastly, improve your landscaping. Make sure your shrubs and trees are trimmed, add pops of color wherever you can, and lay down a lovely welcome mat so your home feels inviting.
Remember: You’re competing against a builder, so making the right upgrades in the right areas will modernize your home and draw buyers’ attention. If you have any questions, call or text today at (239) 248-8000. I’d love to help you.
