There are several ways to enhance the value of an individual’s property without actually having to break the bank. Here are 5 easy ways to increase the value of your property before you list it for sell.
5 Ways to Boost your Property’s Value for Sell
The following are some of the areas that are popularly recommended for home improvement and makeover possibilities:
1. Curb Appeal, Gardens & Landscaping
The way your front lawn shows can affect how much you may be able to ask for your home. Does your grass need mowing, weeding, or edging?
Could you add a quick flower bed or make a cute stone step path leading to your front door? Simple, clean, or cute additions to your front lawn and flower beds can greatly up the curb appeal of your property.
2. Expand the Property
Some people choose to add-on additional bedrooms or space to make your home sell for more cash, but there are other ways to increase the property amenities – Making it more attractive to potential buyers.
Consider adding an outdoor patio or seating area, barbecue, conservatory, greenhouse, or tool shed to make the home more versatile.
3. Make Necessary Repairs
Repairs can be as simple as paint touch-ups, fixing leaking toilets, cleaning mold from window sills, or as difficult as repainting and installing new carpeting.
Consider greasing squeaky doors, deep cleaning your oven, repairing broken drawers, door knobs, etc. Clean light fixtures and replace any missing light bulbs.
You may also be able to have a professional come stretch your carpet if it is sagging or wrinkling in spots.
Little things like replacing outdated light fixtures, and adding new door knobs and cabinet knobs can go along way in getting more money for your home.
4. List your Property in Mid-Spring to Late Summer
While you are free to sell your home any time of the year you’d like, Spring and Summer are ideal times to get the most money out of your property.
People don’t love moving once their children are in school or in bad weather, so the prime market selling time is in the warmer months.
5. Finish your Basement
A finished basement, or even partially finished basement greatly increases the value you can list your home for. Even adding one additional bedroom or office and a bathroom into an unfinished basement will dramatically increase the selling price of your house.
Homes with just 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom can especially benefit from finishing a basement into at least a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home (which is the perfect starter family size).
