Useful Tips To Maximize Your House Value Before Listing

By Jamie Richardson | December 16, 2020

Are you planning to put up your house on sale or rent? Do you want to get the highest rate of return from the proceeds? But do you think that your property's existing condition is good enough to appeal to the buyers?

You have to spend a little to earn a lot. An attractive looking home would fetch you a happy price. People prefer to invest in a ready-to-move-in home than the one where they have to spend time and resources on revamping it. 

According to popular property valuers are some fabulous ways in which you can enhance the value of your home.

  • Thorough Glance- You should step into the next users' shoes and then decide the price you would be willing to pay for it. If the structural and aesthetical look does not excite you, then others would also not be interested. Give yourself a home tour first.
  • Healthily-Groomed- A dirty and dusty place would kill the feeling of living therein. A filthy habitation is not just ugly to look at but also unhealthy to reside in. You will never be able to impress the onlookers with heaps of garbage around. Clean up well and daily. 
  • Fresh Painted- Would you even want to go inside if the house's paint is peeling off already? Not at all. This is why you should brush the exterior and even the interior of the property with light colors. You may put on a single coat to cut on the cost.
  • Trimmed Bushes- If the wild grass of an adjoining plot touches your property, get it mowed. Everybody wants to live in a neat neighborhood. And if you have a lawn, you should keep it flowery or at least devoid of dried out plants. The first impression is the last.
  • Smooth Fixtures- The entrants should not hear any creaking sounds as soon as they open the main gate or room doors. You do not have to replace the jammed doors or windows. Undoing the rust and lubricating with marketed oils would be sufficient.
  • Good Lights- A dull and dark space may spread depressing vibes. Welcome your guests with enough lighting. Let sunshine come in. It will impart warm and positive energy to your prospective buyers. You may put artificial lights where natural lights cannot come.
  • Sparkling Floors- Yellowish or debris clinging floors would disappoint your viewers badly. Even the worn-out carpets would look such a disgrace. If you notice such floor blunders, you should restore the newness. This would add notable value to your place.
  • Modern Kitchen- Your buyer, may decorate the entire place later as they like. But a well-equipped and premium kitchen is the usual expectation these days. You do not have to go expensive. Refurbishing countertops and repairing cabinets would add to its worth.
  • Spotless Washrooms- The shower or the washing area may also improve the value. If the taps, tiles, or marbles of your bathrooms have hard water stains, your visitors might reject the deal. Regular brushing and efficient products may help you to get rid of them.
  • Repair Leakages- Water escaping to the walls is certain to drop the rate of the property. It can rather get tough to resale a building that has seepage problems. You will have to incur this expense to fix the blocked sinks, broken taps, and unnecessary water flow.
  • Clean Woods- You should not stop dusting off the cupboards or other wooden furniture just because you are moving out soon. If you can, then replace the old or infected closets. Buyers are quick to turn down the offer where lockers and cabinets are infested.
  • Newer Appliances- Everybody wants to spend their hard-earned money on an upgraded house. If you have time and resources, you may consider installing essential appliances like an automated washing machine, efficient refrigerator, induction stove, etc., to add more digits to the final price.
  • Hire An Agent- The owner always wants to get the maximum price. As a seller, it is expected that you might have overestimated the final amount. A professional property agent will help you decide the real merit of the house and bring genuine clients.

These are not the only ways to add value to your house. There are ample plush things you may add. You may wholly or partly smarten up the entire place provided you do not go beyond what your wallet allows. The tips mentioned above are convenient to adopt and easy on the pocket. 

Reselling can be a nerve-wracking task. It can get stressful at some times. But if you take care of the small things as stated earlier, you will add quality and get a good price. You can easily afford these suggestions to set a higher value before listing your house for a deal.
