Winter Is Apparently The Best Time To Sell Your Home.
Here's How To Prep It In One Weekend.
The key to successfully selling your home lies in mini renovations -- the ones you can do on tight budgets, in a couple of days, and (most of the time) without professional help.
Mini-remodel #1: Front porch paint job
Repainting your front door is the most important revamp to execute. A fresh coat of color -- or a whole new door, if you're in need and willing to hire professional help -- will boost your home's "curb appeal," letting visitors know they can expect good things before they even get inside. Complete the front porch look with new address plates, light fixtures, potted plants and a welcome mat.
Mini-remodel #2: New kitchen and bathroom hardware
I recommend picking up bulk packs of drawer knobs and door handles and replacing worn, rusted ones. If you can streamline the hardware on your cabinetry, it's fantastic, Oh, and organize your shelves while you're at it. "People don't like to see clutter."
Mini-remodel #3: Replace entryway light fixtures
It's hard for designers to pinpoint exactly why perfect lighting puts house hunters in the mood to buy, but they agree that bright, warm lighting is key. First-impression areas like the entryway are especially important.
Mini-remodel #4: Paint with neutrals
Add a coat of "light, bright and neutral" paint to any room (and all rooms, if you can!). Neutral tones allow shoppers to more easily imagine themselves in your space. They also have the least chance of turning them away. For example, If red is a buyer's least-favorite color, they're going to be turned off by a freshly painted red room. With neutrals, they're more likely to identify.
You don't want a Buyer seeing $$$$ when they tour your home. Take a little extra time and spruce up, You only get One Chance o make a First Impression.
