Written by Posted On Thursday, 25 January 2018 11:26

You want to sell your home for top dollar. What changes will help you sell fast and for the most money? Our top three upgrades are below.

Repairing or Replacing Floors

This Old House says that you can get about $2,000 back on floor fixes and replacements. That is a great deal considering that you might only need about $500 to $700 to replace a badly damaged floor. For other problems like squeaky boards, you may just need to replace a board or two or add some nails in the right place to strengthen the floor and quiet the annoying sound. Sometimes, just repairing floor tiles or replacing old, worn sections of flooring can be the difference in your home selling or not.

Adding Energy Efficient Windows

Forbes says that when you add windows from a place like Valley Glass Utility that keeps your home at a consistent temperature, then you can sell it for more money. One thing that homeowners often forget to do before a home showing is to wash the windows. The experts say that this little task can help you get more money for your home even though it is such a simple thing. Home shoppers want to see a clean, crisp design that welcomes them to make themselves at home and keeps the family comfortable.

Curb Appeal Is Massive

When you want to ensure that your home sells for top dollar, every expert will tell you it starts with curb appeal. When a potential buyer walks up to your home, the first ten seconds will decide whether they step inside or not. Paint your door a bright color, add flowers pots to each side of the entrance, and repair any broken walkways, driveways, and paths. Pops of color along the walk are helpful too. Hgtv says that low-maintenance landscaping is appealing because buyers have less yard work to do if they buy your home.

On a Budget—Thrifty Ways to Add Value to Your Property

  • Paint the Walls
  • Declutter
  • Add Vertical Blinds to Increase Space in Small Rooms
  • Replace Fixtures, Faucets, and Lights
  • Update the Vanity
  • Any Update in the Kitchen Adds Value
  • Hire a Designer for an Hour to Get Staging Tips

You can sell your home for more by making sensible upgrades. By using energy-efficient fixtures, appliances, and windows, buyers know that they will save money in your home. Making sure they make it inside is the primary goal of curb appeal, and upgrades in this area always net a good return.
