I just received my monthly Realtor magazine and found a helpful article too share with those of you selling your home. The article gives us 8 major things you can do to your home that will help sell your home, but with little to no money! Move it - add or remove furniture and accessories to different rooms within your home to make a totally new look. Plant it - real plants will add color where needed and a nice homey feel. Paint it - paint is cheap and can completely freshen up any room. Organize it - yes, this means you need to throw some stuff away, but spending a few dollars on neat containers can really make a difference in the look and feel of a room or closet. Hide it - chips in your wall? Think about some wall paper or wood trim. Replace it - this idea goes a long way when you are thinking about housing hardware. Even new towels in the bathroom will make your home appear more up-to-date. Light it- dimmers, additional lighting in hallways, chandelier replacement all go a long way when setting the "mood" of your home. And finally... Clean it! That's right, clean every corner of your home. You haven't cleaned the top or your ceiling fans or cupboards or grout in a year - do it now! Be super critical of your home and you will "catch" everything that a potential buyer would see.
It's tough out there, but if you want/need to sell your home in this type of market - make it the best it can be! If you look the best - then you give yourself the best chance to sell! Have a good one. -Jenny
