It is a tough market out there if you’re trying to sell your home. But despite what you may think, it does not have to cost you a lot to polish up your house when you’re ready to sell.
1. Spiff up everything on the outside of the home. Edge the yard and plant flowers.
2. Add lighting to the interior and exterior. While it may seem like a small expense, most buyers will probably drive by your home at night.
3. Touch up paint where needed.
4. Go with neutral paint colors on the inside.
5. De-clutter and tidy up the house.
6. Pay attention to the front door. Make sure it’s spotless.
7. Deep clean the house.
8. Straighten up the basement.
9. Buy a pre-home inspection. It may cost about $300, but it will eliminate unpleasant surprises.
Good real estate agents recommend paying attention to your front door. Make sure it is spotless with a fresh coat of paint and shiny new handle. Why? It’s all about making a good first impression.
