As the saying goes, "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression". Curb appeal. When buyers drive up to you house, you want them to feel that your house is well maintained and cared for. Staging a house to appeal to the maximum amount of buyers, can help it sell faster.
The little things that get people through the front door matter first. If your house numbers and mail box are tired, buy new ones. If your front door is old, buy a new one, or paint it.
Check out what improvements that house flippers are doing. Are homes with updated kitchens selling faster and for more money than homes that do not have updated kitchens? If yes, you do not need to spend $100,000, when $25,000 will do. If they are not selling faster and for more money, then save your money.
When buyers walk through the door, make sure you put your best foot forward. Cleaning and decluttering are improvements that cost little money, but can bring big returns.
Change light and plumbing fixtures, brushed nickel is the most popular. Change old and worn out carpeting.
Clarify any areas that will confuse buyers. If you are using a dining room as an office, return it to a dining room. If you have an odd alcove, put in a desk, to show an alternative use.
Don't do improvements that you have always wanted to do, unless it will bring you a return.
The more buyers that you can get into you home, and the faster it sells. The more money you will make.
