Figuring out the right time to sell your house is an age-old dilemma, but it must work for you and your family. Prices rise and fall all the time, so do whatever you can to ensure you get the most money from your sale. Here are a few simple things you can do to increase your home’s value before putting it on the market:
Update finishes
Swapping out simple things such as faucets, light fixtures, and cabinet and drawer pulls can give your home brand-new life. These things don’t cost a lot but will look fresh and new when you put your home on the market.
Install energy-efficient features
Energy efficiency is a significant selling point to many buyers today. Update your appliances to more energy-efficient models. Replace windows with the newest energy-efficient glass. Consider adding smart home technology.
Freshen up your landscaping
You only get one chance to make a first impression. Updating your home’s curb appeal can make all the difference when you’re ready to sell. Freshen up your landscaping to match the current season with colorful flowers and easy-to-care-for plants.
Declutter your space
When you’re showing your home, be sure to keep it clutter free. Remove a lot of your personal items to neutralize the space. Keep it tidy whenever someone comes for a showing. You can even remove some large furniture pieces to keep the rooms open and make them look larger.
