Thinking of selling your home? Here are six tried-and-true updates that can significantly increase your property’s appeal and selling price:

1. Hiring a handyman. Before listing their home, our clients made a smart move by hiring a handyman to install new faucets in their bathrooms and giving the exterior a thorough power wash. These relatively small updates can make a big difference in first impressions.

2. Applying fresh interior paint. A new coat of paint is a game-changer. Our clients repainted all the interior walls in their house, and this is a modification that consistently impresses potential buyers. It gives the property a fresh, inviting look and a pleasant scent.

3. Refinishing hardwood floors. Hardwood floors are a popular feature for homebuyers. Our clients refinished their hardwood floors, making them look brand new. This not only adds aesthetic appeal but also highlights durability, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen.

“These six home updates are proven to increase your home's marketability and selling price.”

4. Installing brand new carpeting and carpet padding. Investing in brand-new carpeting and carpet padding is a savvy choice. Buyers pay close attention to flooring when considering a home, and this upgrade can be a strong selling point.

5. Renovating deck and service walk. Enhance the outdoor living space. Our clients rebuilt their entire deck and added a new service walk. This is a wise investment because potential buyers will see it as a feature they can enjoy immediately, rather than a project to tackle later.

6. Updating the kitchen. Upgrade your kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Not only is this a preference for many buyers, but it also makes your property shine in marketing images. Professional photographs are more appealing with these sleek appliances.

These six home updates are proven to increase your home’s marketability and selling price. Whether you’re looking to make a big impact or enhance the finer details, these improvements can make a significant difference in attracting potential buyers and maximizing your home’s value.
