Boost The Value Of Your Home With These Updates
You don’t have to remodel your entire home just to boost its value, in fact, not every upgrade is going to add real value to your home. That is why it is so important for you to know just what is worth fixing up.
There are some easy and often affordable do-it-yourself projects that can do the trick.
Here are a few updates that you can get started on today that will boost the selling price of your home:
Kitchen: Add an easy adhesive backsplash
Not only will this quick fix make your kitchen look like a million bucks, it will actually add value to your home. Add to that that this is practically mess free and something you can do in an afternoon.
Just wash the walls very well, let them dry and follow the instructions on the backsplash tiles. If you make a mistake just use a hairdryer to soften the glue and reposition as necessary.
Bedroom: Add crown molding
Nothing ups the feel of a room like some good crown molding. This is not the cheapest fix on this list but it is going to make home feel more luxurious and as a result you will be able to charge a little more when it comes time to sell.
It is even easy to add. The hardest part is cutting the pieces to size but you can get that done at the hardware store for a few extra dollars if you don’t have a saw of your own.
Laundry Room: Spruce it up
Most people don’t think of their laundry room when fixing up their home. Since it is not a room that is actually lived in at all it is generally left for last. But what people don’t realize is that while there is no couch or TV we still spend a lot of our time doing laundry.
All you really need to do is make sure it is clean, has a good paint job on the walls and the floor looks decent.
Yard: Update your landscaping
We tend to focus on the inside of the house without realizing that the first impression of the entire home is going to come from the yard since that is the first thing people see when they pull up.
You don’t have to go crazy with the landscaping, just make sure there is some nice greenery along walkways and that the yard looks neat and tidy. Don’t let your bushes or trees go too long without being trimmed as well.
Garage: Clean it!
Make sure that your garage looks it’s best. This means cleaning the oil stains off the floor and tidying up. Consider adding some good shelving to help you keep everything in order. The neater the whole place looks the more appealing it will be to potential homebuyers.
Remember these five tips when you are getting ready to sell your home and watch it get snapped up fast.
