Buyers are harder and harder to come by these days so sellers really need to make sure that they house is not only priced right but that is shows in the best light possible. Here are some tips on how you can make your home shine.
- Curb Appeal - Stand out in front of your home and take an objective look at your home. Look at the landscaping, paint, roof, shutters, front door, knocker, windows, house number and even how your window treatments look from the outside. Add something special that will catch prospective buyer's eyes - a big flower pot with colorful flowers or an antique bench. Give them something to remember your house y.
- Color - Paint is one of the least expensive ways you can add a welcoming affect to your home. You want colors that invite buyers in and then help their eyes move from room to room. Tint ceilings a lighter shade of the wall color.
- Kitchen and Baths Are Where It's At - These are the make-or-break rooms in every home. They need to be squeaky clean and clutter free. Update the faucets and hardware.
- Architectural Details - Install crown molding 6-9 inches in depth, proportional to the rooms size. It's all in the details.
- Screen Hardwood Floors - This is a less expensive and less dusty alternative to refinishing hardwood floors. It entails a light sanding and a fresh coat of urethane.
- Clean Out Your Closets - Organize and sort through all the stuff in your closets (it will be one less thing you have to do when you get ready to pack). You want your closets to be only half full so they appear larger.
- Window Wear - Make sure your window coverings allow for the maximum amount of light and are not too frilly or fancy.
- Pre-Inspections - Many buyers are seeking homes that are move-in ready. Have your home inspected and make repairs as not to delay the purchase down the road.
