Spruce Up Your Home for Spring Sales

Spring is just around the corner. Flowers will soon start to bloom, we’ll soak up the sun as our days grow longer and many families will eagerly plant roots in a new home.??

If you’re keen to uproot, this charming season is the perfect time to kick off your house hunt. But as you say hello to one property, you must say goodbye to your current one. This means freshening up your spaces and highlighting your home’s potential. As a seasoned realtor dedicated to serving my community through dream home transactions, if you don’t know where to begin, here are my expert tips for enhancing your home’s value.??

Stage for Success?

Staging your home is more than just a buzzword —?it’s a strategy to transform your home into a welcoming place that buyers can imagine themselves in. Start with a little spring cleaning, decluttering and organizing. Ensure potential buyers can roam each room freely. Then, apply a fresh coat of paint, meticulously touching up any imperfections and replacing vibrant colors with more understated neutral tones.??

With the less desirable tasks behind you, it’s time to enrich your home’s charisma with decor. Swap family photos for more generic artwork. Add a splash of color through pillows or blankets to accent your home’s strengths. Amp up lighting in rooms to create a warm, cozy environment. And absolutely, don’t overlook curb appeal. First impressions are everything.???

Stay Ahead with Inspection?

Home improvements aren’t always cosmetic. Collapsing roofs, termite infestation or problems with your electrical wiring are just a few examples of repairs in areas of your home that you don’t typically see. An inspector may discover hidden problems like these that could negatively impact your home’s value or scare off a potential buyer down the road. Completing an assessment in advance gives you more control over how things are fixed and how much you spend. Plus, it’ll help realtors like me get you an optimal return on your investment.??

Hoping to wait on the inspection, but still open to improvements? It’s helpful to know what improvements competing homes are making to ensure your property stands out on the market. In 2022, Zillow and Thumbtack released a report detailing the spring projects that yield higher results for sellers. The survey found the most commonly completed repairs before listing included interior painting, carpet cleaning and landscaping.??
