Changes That Add Value Value to Your Home

Brighter spring days tend to light up the older or worn features of your home. Often people overlook the importance of home improvements until they decide to sell their home. Why not enjoy those improvements before you sell?

Number one thing buyers look at before they step in the door….

Your home’s street view is usually the primary image used when a property is listed for sale on MLS. Step outside and have a look to see how you can improve the street view of your home. Have you let those trees get too big, are there bushes growing over your sidewalk, do they need replacing? Consider updating the window trim to a more modern style. Is your front door colour in need of updating? Do you live on an acreage, does the driveway need some fresh gravel? Secondly, the front door swings open, what do you see? A crowded entry or an old rug? Consider investing in a new door bench with storage. Consider updating the paint colours or entry flooring to match the adjacent flooring. Will a new entryway rug highlight a small updated feature shelf or new piece of artwork in the entryway?

The number one sales feature of a home is the kitchen. Does your kitchen have 1980’s oak or 1990’s white thermo-foil cabinets? White paint can spruce up the look of old wood, but new cabinets will be yours to enjoy and will still look new in 10 years, when you sell. New cabinets will not only sell your home more quickly, they will also get a return on your investment, in addition to a kitchen that will be a pleasure to cook in.

Other features that sell a home are updated bathrooms. To avoid the piecey look, try to coordinate the colours and style of cabinets to mimic your updated kitchen cabinets and paint colours.

A “well maintained home” shows pride of ownership and the words themselves - are a selling feature.
