Let's get right to it. Here are 5 all too often overlooked ideas to quickly increase the living value and sale value of a home:
1.
Kitchen countertops-- Anytime someone walks into a house, you don't want them to think about what they'll have to do, but what's already done. It doesn't cost too much to replace old
or cracked vinyl surfaces. Make sure to stay neutral in color to impress a
wider variety of people at sale time...if you'd like some ideas, click here for more information.
2. Carpet--Home buyers will automatically take off $5,000 if it looks like they need to put in new carpet. If you want to get what you're asking for your home, invest in good carpet and see the payoff later. SmartStrand carpet will not stain and is both pet and children
friendly (don't believe me? Click here to see the proof).
3. Bathrooms and kitchens are the standard investments the real estate world looks for, but surprising as it may be, a poorly put together basement living room can make or break a sale. Use carpet to add another "room" for sale. Dingy, put together
basements are all too common, but a nice carpet in the basement adds value
and makes it seem like it is a family room.
4.
Replace that stained sagging sofa with a nice new sofa. We carry Lane, SmithBrothers, Marshfield, Best, and Southern Motion. Don't forget our SmithBrothers Annual Sale is coming soon!
5.
Paint and Accessorize--It's amazing what a fresh coat of neutral paint can do
for a home. A nice neutral will go a long ways for a sale, but don't stop
there. Don't forget to accessorize with pieces that you'll be able to
move from one house to another--they'll add value to the sale and make your
house a home in the meantime.
Or...throw us a line and we'll take care of everything for you!
Until
Next Time,
