TOP 5: HIGHEST ROI PRE LIST PROJECTS
If you’re thinking of prepping your house for a Winter or Spring listing, here are the top 5 improvements to consider, to help you stand out from the competition.
1. PAINT- A fresh coat of the right color will make the biggest impact for a very reasonable investment.2. KITCHENS & BATHS- Are there any small investments that might make a big impact? (i.e. painting an old vanity, new cabinet knobs, staging etc.) Small updates like these can help these rooms compete with more updated kitchens and baths by showing buyers how good they can look, without an expensive remodel.3. REPAIRS- If there are repair issues that you know will come up in inspections, best to evaluate whether taking care of those in advance makes sense.4. LIGHTING-A few well chosen light fixtures can be a great low cost improvement to update any room.5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING- All Buyers want a house that has been well maintained. Making sure that your house presents as such is impactful and well worth the investment.
