In today\u2019s market, the best thing you can do is to make your house more saleable, these are a few ways to do just that.<\/p>\n
1 – Check the curb appeal of the house. The first impression is the one that is going to stick with people.<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 No one likes a house that has no place to store things. Increase the storage areas and you\u2019ll increase the appeal and value.<\/p>\n
3 \u2013 A fresh coat of paint will do absolute wonders for your homes visual impact and value.<\/p>\n
4 \u2013 After you paint, take the time to clean the floors and make them as attractive as the walls. It will do wonders.<\/p>\n
5 \u2013 Stop and smell the roses. Sniff your house and see what odors are lurking. A stinky building is a hard sell.<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 Get rid of the personal items. A prospective buyer wants to envision it as theirs so the less of you the better.<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Mirrors. They make a house look a lot larger than it is and makes it more appealing because of it.<\/p>\n
8 \u2013 If you have pets, I hate to say it but get them to a kennel long before you show the house. The odors of animals linger on.<\/p>\n
9 \u2013 When decorating, think neutral. Nothing too flashy because it is liable to turn off a lot more people than it will attract.<\/p>\n
10 \u2013 Fresh flowers can make things look and smell better and increase the change of selling.<\/p>\n
11 \u2013 The bathroom is important to people. Make sure it looks as good as it can. Clean and polished is a good thing.<\/p>\n
12 \u2013 Speaking of the bathroom, make sure to put a new toilet seat on. It\u2019s inexpensive but a nice touch that shows you care.<\/p>\n
13 \u2013 Make sure that the garage is clutter free, has lots of storage and is set up nice and neatly.<\/p>\n
14 \u2013 If you have a basement, make sure it is appealing. A little remodeling here can greatly increase the sales price.<\/p>\n
15 \u2013 Keep records of repairs. If you have kept up on the service work on the AC every spring and fall, those records can increase the value of the house.<\/p>\n
16 \u2013 Landscaping. Make sure the outside is as appealing as the inside. It needs to be tastefully done not over done.<\/p>\n
17 \u2013 Keep the yard well groomed. It shows that you care for the appearance and most likely take great care of the house.<\/p>\n
18 \u2013 If you have a barbeque area, make sure it is neat and clean and the grill is not all scummy.<\/p>\n
19 \u2013 If there are hoses on the house, keep them rolled up on the reels. A small point but it will mean a lot.<\/p>\n
20 \u2013 If you have a deck make sure it is painted and looks nice. If you don\u2019t have one, consider adding one on.<\/p>\n
