How to Give Your Home a Modern Appeal That Buyers Will Surely Love

 

After saying to yourself, “Good thing there is free market evaluation for my home in Pleasanton CA,” put yourself in the shoes of the buyers and consider the value of your home. Additionally, remember that after looking at several homes for sale in Pleasanton, buyers will definitely get tired of seeing outdated homes. Make yours stand out by giving it a modern touch. Updating your home before putting it on the market will also boost its appeal and increase the chances of getting sold sooner than you expected.

 

Here are 6 surefire ways you can give your Pleasanton CA home a more modern look.

 

Here are some tips on how to modernize your home before showing it to buyers:

 

1. Update your light fixtures

As you ask yourself, “What's my home value in Pleasanton CA?,” one simple way to add value and modernize your home is by updating your ceiling, sconces, and bathroom light fixtures. Aside from giving your home a modern appeal, they can also bring better and more efficient light to the space. You may also add skylights and solar tubes in dark areas that need more lighting. Remember that you can reduce the use of or totally remove lighting fixtures with the introduction of more natural light into a space.

 

2. Paint and brighten it up

One of the most basic ways to give your home a modern look is by painting it. Replace dingy white paint or faded wallpaper on interior walls. Colors such as warm golden beige, robin’s egg blue, or muted sage tones create a clean, updated look. Using lemon yellow or soft coral can add flair and give life to any space. Using bright yet soft mint green can create a youthful look as well. Before doing this however, it is best to consult with your best real estate agent’s stager.  Don’t waste money painting walls that the stager may dislike.

 

3. Open up your kitchen

Making your kitchen accessible to the living and dining rooms can also help create a modern appeal. You can achieve this in several ways. You can widen the doorway or create a pass through. You may also knock down the upper half of a wall, or totally remove an entire wall. Whichever option you go for, it is better to hire a contractor to do the job. If there is enough space, you can add an island or a peninsula.

4. Update the bathroom

The bathroom is another area that buyers will surely check. A few small touches in this space can go a long way. Replace old curtains, shades, or blinds with something more modern like snapview shutters. Get rid of old towel racks with more modern looking metal ones. Change the shower curtains especially if they are already showing signs of wear or age. You can also install a new mirror. These are basic easy, quick fixes....oh and don’t forget to replace the old toilet seat!!

 

5. Go for hardwood floor

Having carpet in the bedrooms is practical and comfortable. However, carpeting the entire home has long been out of style. Instead of carpets, go for hardwood floor. It exudes a natural vibe and a classic feel.  You can also explore other flooring options such as tiles, bricks, or stone. Your real estate agent will have someone you can get quotes for to get great pricing!

 

6. Add new accents

Adding new accents can also help attract more buyers who are looking for homes with modern appeal. New throw pillows,  new wall art, and flower vases can do the trick, but remember not to overdo it. Select versatile pieces that will complement your existing style.
