Every home requires maintenance or repair over time, and if you are selling your home, you’re probably interested in suggestions as to how to get the best return on your money. According to a survey done by HomeGain, the following items provide the highest returns:
- Cleaning and de-cluttering
- Lightening and brightening
- Home staging
- Landscaping
These are mainly cosmetic items and the point is to make your home look inviting. You want to allow the potential buyers to picture themselves in the home and do so without a lot of work prior to moveing in.
The returns will vary based on where you live due to the cost of a repair and the importance of each improvement to buyers in that area. HomeGain estimates that returns in these areas may exceed your investment.
In today’s dynamic market, buyers expect a lot. In addition to the suggestions above, the following items deserve a seller’s attention as well: dirty windows, electrical repairs, plumbing problems, old carpeting, old paint and damaged floors.
