Some ways to increase your homeâs resale value
Written by Lora Davis
- You should consider hiring a professional to give your home the edge. Some time spent with a home inspector, a local designer or a real estate agent will provide you with valuable insight into what areas of your house need to be spruced up. You will benefit from their insight.
- Invest early in landscaping. A beautifully landscaped yard that has beautiful trees and foliage has the potential to be a huge selling point. However you have to wait for several years of growth to make good on your investment. It won’t hurt if you seek expert advice regarding the planting off trees.
- Neglected lawns are a major turn off for a prospective buyer. While maintaining a healthy lawn with care is the best option, you can also try laying new sod if the lawn is not up to the mark.
- You should upgrade existing doors. Curb appeal will go a long way in selling your house. The way your home looks from the outside depends a lot on how the front door (and the garage doors) looks.
- You should make it a point to remove eyesores. This can be anything from outdated wallpaper, light fixtures that look tacky, popcorn ceilings and carpets with stains. Their replacements need not be high cost and high end. As long as you go with classy and clean, you’re on the right track.
- If you are thinking of a classic addition to the house, you could go for French doors. Not only will they let in more light, the open feel of the doors leads to an illusion of more space. And when you’re selling your house you need all the illusions you can do with.
- Choose paint colors that are current. A fresh paint job in modern neutral colors like with grey will show off the house to the best advantage. Overly bright paint color will not go down well so think before you reach out for the can of paint.
- Another classic investment is to build built in shelving or cabinets in the halls or garages. This will notch up the brownie points with a prospective buyer and may be the reason they go for your house.

Sometimes, it’s not what you see, but what you feel. Ever notice how some buildings just feel solid? No creeping unease. No instinct telling you to check for the nearest exit.
