Great Investments to Boost the Sale Price of Your Home

Even in Western Washington’s hot real estate market it’s important to take the proper steps to prepare a home for sale if you want to maximize its final price. There are no shortage of home improvements that you can do, but remember, a little goes a long way in real estate. So while a full kitchen remodel may seem like a good idea, there are plenty of more affordable improvements that can be done to entice buyers from the moment they set foot on the property. Here’s our tips for boosting the sale price of your home.

Neutral Paint Colors

If only the orange walls in your child’s bedroom could talk. Those colors that cover the walls throughout your home may have been appealing to you and your family, but it’s time to cover them up if you’re getting ready to sell. To help buyers picture themselves making new memories in your home you’ll want to repaint those less traditionally colored walls with a light tan, off white or creamy white coat.

Curb Appeal

The exterior of your home is just as important as the inside, if not more, when it comes to first impressions for buyers. Trimming trees, removing stumps and dying shrubs and greening the grass are great steps to take to improve curb appeal, but you can take it a step further. Planting brightly colored flowers or utilizing potted or hanging plants will create an inviting atmosphere for prospective buyers, helping them see themselves hanging out in the yard for years to come.

New Flooring

Another quick and relatively affordable method for boosting your home’s appeal and sale price is installing new carpeting throughout the home, or at least in areas that really need it. If your budget allows, new hardwood flooring will provide the best return on investment.
