10 home selling tips

www.homefinderweekly.com

May 17th to May 24th, 2012

Easy ways to make your home more attractive to potential buyers. your closets down to what you’re actually wearing this season, packing away the rest. Ideally, all this extra stuff would head to charity (if in good, saleable condition), the garbage dump, or into storage. The more you store onsite, the more cluttered and small your home appears.

4

Getting ready to sell? Move your property fast – and for the highest selling price possible – with these easy, affordable staging tricks. These deal-sealing changes will make your home attractive to the largest pool of potential buyers, and the best part is, you can start at any stage in the game.

1

Paint!

Dollar for dollar, a fresh coat of paint gives you more bang for your decorating buck than anything else. Even if your current palette is relatively new, any scuffs or wear marks will channel an unkempt vibe. And an unusual colour choice – even if the height of fashion – may limit your home’s appeal. So break out that roller and slap on a couple coats of crowd-pleasing warm white or sand paint.

2

Improve the lighting

Replace any dated light fixtures ASAP. How can you tell if it has to go? If it’s over 15 years old and looks it – yet isn’t a vintage (50-75 years old) or antique piece (older) – it should probably go. “Retro” is not something most home buyers are looking for.

3

De-clutter

Take the collectibles off the mantel, put the mismatched armchair into storage (or better yet, donate it) and pare

Give dated bathrooms a facelift

A nice bath helps sell a house but, don’t invest in a total renovation. Renos are costly, and you won’t recoup your costs unless you find your exact décor doppelganger.

Bring an out-of-date bath up to speed with gleamingwhite walls whether via a fresh coat of white bath and kitchen paint or ceramic tile and new lighting. Buy neutral new shower curtains, a simple new bath mat and vanity set, and have fresh flowers in the room during open houses.

5

Take down curtains

Dated window treatments need to come down, pronto (if it’s over 10 years old, get rid of it). If privacy isn’t an issue, just leave the windows bare to maximize natural light and make the room’s dimensions seem more generous. Otherwise, buy basic-issue cotton or linen drapes from Linens ‘N Things or another wellpriced retailer.

Always tie drapes back during viewings and open houses.

6

Put up mirrors

that will never date, while oil-rubbed bronze is another favourite.

8

And the porch light

Update your porch light to coordinate with the new hardware, if needed. They don’t have to be an exact match or even come from the same period, but the finishes and styles should look pleasing together.

9

Spiff up the front yard

Refresh your front yard according to the season. In spring, summer and fall, trim back dead plants and foliage and plant attractive annuals or perennials in flowerbeds. In winter, keep the walkway shoveled and cut back any tree or shrub branches damaged by heavy snowfall. A pair of planters flanking the front door and filled with seasonal arrangements instantly conveys pride of ownership.

10

Tend the backyard

Simple fix-its willmake the most of your existing yard layout. Replace any damaged boards on your deck or fence, and apply a fresh coat of paint, or stain and sealant if the finish needs it. Weed and groom your garden and add some perennials for colour when in-season. If kids’ toys are taking over the space, put some in storage.

Make small rooms appear bigger and dark rooms seem brighter by adding an attractive wall mirror. A boxlike dining room will benefit from a leaning floor mirror and an entranceway more welcoming with a console mirror.

7

Update porch hardware

Increase your home’s curb appeal by updating the hardware on your front porch. Buy a doorknocker or bell, mailbox, kick plate, doorknob and lockset in a set or in complementary styles. Brushed nickel is a neutral finish

Liz’ Tips

Spring renewal tips Spring is the time for renewals, fresh bright colors, and beautiful flowers. Add some spring cleaning and you'll have a home as fresh as the new season.

Liz’ Tips By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment Brockville, Ontario

It is great to feel cozy in the winter with warm colors and soft, fluffy Tips: fabrics. In spring & summer however, a cool, airy look is more appealing. Here are some simple ideas for transforming the look of • Keep spring and summer colours and accessories light, both in feel and color. your home with the freshness of spring...

• Changing with the seasons gives you an opportunity to get out some long-lost pieces and make them the center of attention for a while. It’s also a time to recycle tired items that you no longer wish to keep.

• If winter seems especially long, forget the calendar and get your spring things out. You may still need the warm blankets, but the look can be light and uplifting.

• Organization is very important in the seasonal home. Storing items in containers by season can help slipcovers, pillows, and linens to be on hand for quick changes. Once you develop your seasonal style keep looking on your shopping trips for the perfect accessories to add to your rooms. Don’t forget that “less is best” • Only buy what you love and not because it’s on sale.

Here are some tips to tackle spring cleaning: • Always start at the top of the room and work your way down.

• Always clean top to bottom. When you dust, start at the top and work down.

3. Floral arrangements of pine and holiday colours can be changed for • Clean & de-clutter as you go! It takes a lot less time to remove new dirt than old, and to clean and put away stuff as you use it, than it is to clean light, colourful ones for the spring and summer. Put away dark brass and store the pile-up you can accumulate. or pottery containers and bring out clear glass or crystal vases.

4. Change dark-patterned decorative pillows by covering them with • A house that smells fresh will give the impression of cleanliness. Leave baking soda on carpeting for the night to absorb musty odors, vacuum fresh, floral prints or plaids for warmer weather.

• Always pick up the T.V. room before bedtime and start the dishwasher on your way to bed. It’ll work while you sleep.

8. Change your burgundy candles for some spring colours: think Easter with shades of lavender, rose, and pale yellows.

• Prioritize; if your time is limited decide what is most important.

Candles are a great spring décor home accent. Candles can be calming, • It’s important to delegate: get the entire family involved. energizing, inspiring, beautiful, elegant, and simply smell good.

Depending on the scent of your candles, you can change the mood of • Make a checklist, when a job is completed, check it off - you'll feel as your home.
