Are you trying to think of ways to squeeze a little more from your home sale? There are simple things that you can do yourself and they may not be as costly as you think. Here are a few ideas:
- First impression. Adding foundation shrubs, bushes and flowers is an inexpensive way to add curb appeal.
- Fresh paint. We all recognize that a home’s exterior and interior can be magically transformed with the right shade of paint. At a minimum, it changes old and dingy to fresh and new.
- The entrance. Replace your dated/worn front door and make a tremendous improvement in the way your home looks from the curb.
- Light fixtures. Changing old light fixtures is another way to update and freshen your home’s exterior.
- Inside the home. Studies indicate that chrome fixtures are preferred to the more dated gold fixtures and that a fixed glass screen is preferred to a shower curtain.
- Window treatments. Simple blinds are the most popular choice.
- Hardware. Consider replacing your bathroom and kitchen drawer pulls with more modern choices.
- The appliances. Studies also show that upgrading to energy efficient models adds great value to your home.
