Low-Cost Improvements to Help Sell Your Home
By Kimberly Ray
With an ever-increasing number of homes on the market, it's essential to give your home an edge over others in order to receive acceptable offers within a reasonable time frame. There are easy ways to give your home the punch it needs to capture attention and bring in the highest possible offers. These low-cost improvements will help sell your home by giving it a "wow" factor and making it more appealing to potential buyers.
Kitchen - Improve the look of your kitchen by replacing your old kitchen sink and faucet. Consider investing in a shiny porcelain sink or an indestructible granite sink along with a new high-quality faucet, |
sprayer, and soap dispenser. You can purchase these items from a major home improvement retailer and have them professionally installed for less than $500.00.
Bathroom - If your bathtub or shower stall has seen better days, instead of dealing with the mess and expense of replacement, consider professional refinishing. Add shiny new faucets and a rain-style showerhead for a completely new and impressive look. Take the project a step further by adding a lighted mirror, and stage your home with color-coordinated towels and accessories.
Living room - If your living room, family room, or great room needs something special to make it more appealing to potential buyers, consider new flooring and a new coat of paint in neutral colors. You don't have to get the most expensive flooring to make a good impression, but going with better padding can give cheaper carpeting a more luxurious feel. Complete the room by staging it with color-coordinated accessories such as throw pillows, lamps, and vibrant floral arrangements.
Dining Room - You can turn an ordinary dining room into an impressive showplace with the addition of a new light fixture or chandelier. A beautiful chandelier or light fixture is the focal point of a dining room, and it will certainly make a difference in the overall look of your dining room. Light fixtures come in all styles, sizes, and price ranges, and there are beautiful fixtures to meet every budget. Add room enhancing light bulbs to make the true colors in the room pop out like never before.
