It’s that time of year again! No, I am not talking about alley-oops, slam dunks, and cutting down the nets. I am talking about Buying Season! Even though total home sales for the first two months of 2019 fell 9.4% off the pace of 2018, in just a few short weeks, we will see our first significant numbers for 2019. We look for the median sales price to rise, most likely through June, making home prices the center of conversations – instead of busted brackets – in break rooms throughout Valley offices. So, what can you do to make your home come out on top in today’s market? Here are three tips:
Make Your Kitchen Sizzle
Renovating your kitchen is THE biggest way to add value to your home. Everybody tends to gravitate to the kitchen and by simply adding a hefty amount of seating involving an island with barstools is something buyers will eat up! Even though a total remodel can be a major investment, smaller projects make a big difference! If you can’t afford to go all-out, simply adding nicer appliances makes a huge impact with buyers. If you do not want to go the appliance route, replacing finishes with fresh and neutral materials makes for a clean and timeless look. Replacing dated countertops with quartz and changing your flooring is also worth your time and money.
Freshen Up Your Bathrooms
The smallest rooms in your house have THE biggest impact on its value, so adding a second bathroom or upgrading existing ones to give your home at least two full baths really gives you great bang for your buck. However, if you are solely remodeling a bathroom to simply list your home, keep it simple by adding things like updated hardware or re-grouting tile to give it a fresh look.
Light It Up
Increase the watts in your lightbulbs to make your home look brighter and bigger. Take down dated chandeliers and update the fixtures to really make your house shine!
So, there you have our three tips to increase your home’s value. If you would like us to help you prepare to list your home for sale, please call Dylan Nolle at 602-750-7913, or Maria Nolle at 480-221-7847.
