When it comes to increasing your home’s value, it’s the little things that have the biggest impact.
Some people automatically think it has to be a big project like redoing the kitchen or the bathrooms, but that’s not the answer. If you want to redo a kitchen or bathroom for your own satisfaction, go right on ahead, but when it comes to selling your home, these things won’t pay back your investment.
Doing these four simple little maintenance chores instead will have a far greater impact on your home’s value:
- Paint. Paint the walls and trim so that it makes everything look new and nice.
- Flooring. If your hardwood floor is shining or your carpet looks freshly-installed, that attracts a buyer’s attention in a positive way.
- Landscaping. Trim and cut anything that looks ragged and unkempt. Furthermore, plant some flowers to add some extra color.
- Cleaning the entire interior. You don’t need more room in your budget to simply clean everything inside the home so that it looks brand new.
You don’t need a budget, just clean the inside of your home.
