Whether you want to put your home on the market before the end of the year or you’re waiting for 2017, there are a few repairs that you can make right now to have a successful home sale.
First of all, fix your flooring. Refinish hardwood floors and replace old carpeting with neutral white or tan carpeting. If there are stains on the carpet, buyers will think the carpet needs to be replaced; unfortunately, buyers tend to overestimate the cost of replacing flooring. It will be less expensive for you to take care of the flooring yourself. You should also replace chipped or cracked tiles.
You should also paint the ceiling and the walls. Touch up worn spots, get rid of wallpaper and dated wood panelling, and apply a fresh, neutral coat of paint to make your home look brand new.
When it comes to kitchen improvements, don’t spend thousands of dollars renovating the entire room. Instead, replace old cabinets, add new hardware to your cabinets, and replace leaky faucets or sinks.
You don’t have to completely renovate your kitchen to maximize your home sale.
The same holds true when it comes to remodeling the bathroom; you don’t have to redo the whole room. Just invest in a new floor, update the fixtures, or install some new lights.
Finally, don’t forget curb appeal. You may or may not need to replace your roof, but you should definitely patch up any cracks in the cement, resurface your driveway, and repaint fences so that your home is more appealing to buyers.
Taking care of these things now will pay off when you sell your home later. If you have any other questions about putting your home on the market, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
