How To Improve The Resale Value Of Your Edmonton Home This 2015
Great! The point that you’re reading this article means you’re really interested in boosting the profit you’ll get out of your Edmonton home once it’s sold.
This might be common sense but still a lot of people don’t fully understand the benefits of providing improvements to their home before listing it to the Edmonton MLS. Simply put it this way, doing home improvements would help sell your home at a faster rate than the competition-and of course for a higher selling price!
Glorious things can be achieved by doing simple things.
Here are a few things you can do what definitely pay off big time!
NEW PAINT: Simple yet effective, providing a new paint job would brighten up the property. It will give off the effect to potential home buyers that the property is brand new. Keep the colors as relaxing and inviting as possible.
LIGHTING: This will complement the new paint. Rooms could be enhanced by installing good lighting fixtures. Double check all the lights inside your home for any issue. You would not want faulty lighting when the Realtor is showing your house.
Save energy by using LED light bulbs. This simple improvement will show the home buyers that the house is built to conserve energy.
LIVING ROOM: As the single most used room inside the house, it is important to keep this place as de-cluttered as possible. You can also rearrange the furniture to have that ‘open-space’ effect.
Keep in mind to make your home buyers wish that they live in there themselves, make them comfortable, and make them love your place.
BEDROOMS: Create an intimate ambiance by replacing the curtains, place candles and use perfumes.
KITCHEN & BATH: These two areas of the house are the most frequently used by the home buyers-not necessarily the kids. With that in mind, keep it simple, stage the kitchen by placing fresh fruits and flowers. A good trick to pull off when there are home buyers to check out the house is to bake a cake, the aroma of a freshly baked cake would stir feelings of coziness.
For the bathrooms, make it smell like those in the hotels. Also, take time to replace toilet seats and shower curtains.
All the small details count in this endeavor, so do your best to clean the property and make it look appealing. As they say, first impressions last!
