Hi There,
We always get questions from sellers about how to get their house’s ready to sell without spending a ton of money.
In today’s market, there are a few things you can do as a seller to get as much value for your home. It’s not always going to cost you money to make sure your house is ready to be put on the market, sometimes simple things like pressure washing outside can make your house look 100x better. When buyers walk through your house, you ideally want them to picture their lives in your home, which means you want to declutter and show the natural beauty of your home. This doesn’t mean throw everything away!! This just means packing a few boxes, getting yourself ready to move with things in your home you don’t necessarily use on a weekly basis or it could mean sorting through your clothes figuring out what you want to bring to your next home and what you think you don’t use/wear anymore.
Here are essential tips to get your house ready to sell:
- Taking your house into the future
- Maximizing your size and space
- Cutting energy costs
- Tackling those little repairs
- Updating lighting
- Making minor bathroom and bathroom remodels
- Replacing outdated items such as popcorn ceilings
- Painting using neutral colours
- Updating worn or dirty floors
- Decluttering and adding storage
- Giving the house a deep clean
- Replacing windows
