Unlike some of the expensive solutions to give your home more value…these undertakings are inexpensive and may or may not need the employ of a professional.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Clean and declutter<\/strong>\u00a0 It is absolutely the first and most important procedure to make your home inviting to a potential buyer.\u00a0 Take everything off the shelves in the kitchen and put them inside the closets.\u00a0 Have a smooth, clean surface on all the counters.\u00a0 If there is a window in the kitchen, have it washed, both inside and out if possible.\u00a0 Bathrooms are particularly guilty of clutter.\u00a0 Put all toothpastes, gels, hair conditioners inside the cabinets.\u00a0 Clean and deodorize the entire bathroom and put fresh, if possible, new towels on the racks.\u00a0 Bedrooms should be devoid of dirty clothes, beds should be made and carpets vacuumed.\u00a0 The living room should look as though it is ready for company. Cost…$100 to $200.\u00a0 Home Price Increase\u00a0 $1500 to $2000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Home Staging<\/strong>\u00a0 If you have furniture that doesn’t show well, or too much furniture, or if your rooms don’t show that well..it might be good idea to hire a home stager.\u00a0 She or he will arrange your rooms with beauty in mind.\u00a0 These people can be tremendously creative.\u00a0 Cost…$300-$400\u00a0 Home Price Increase $1500 to $2000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Lighten and Brighten <\/strong>If your furniture is dark and the rooms seem dark, it is a wonderful idea to buy inexpensive slip covers and lampshades in soft, light shades.\u00a0 Your rooms will take on a new glow and will look more attractive. $200 to $300.\u00a0 Home Price Increase $1000 to $1500<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Landscape front and back\u00a0 <\/strong>All dead plants should be removed and replaced with inexpensive plants, fresh from the nursery.\u00a0 Buy some mulch while you are at it and make sure you mow the lawn.\u00a0 Cost $300 to $400. Home Price Increase $1500 to $2000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Repair Plumbing\u00a0 <\/strong>You never know when a potential buying walking through will decide to turn on a faucet or flush the toilet.\u00a0 Make sure all the plumbing works right…no leeky faucets, etc.\u00a0 Cost $300 to $400.\u00a0 Home Price Increase $1000 to $1500<\/strong><\/li>\n

  7. Replace or Shampoo Carpet\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>There is not bigger turnoff, than stained, dirty carpet.\u00a0 If the carpeting is beyond cleaning, a store like Home Depot or a store carrying remnants will be able to sell you carpeting cheaply.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a big deal\u00a0 I can estimate the cost at $400 to $ 500 per room.\u00a0 Home Price Increase $1000 to <\/strong>$1500<\/li>\n
  8. Paint Interior <\/strong>You can brighten and freshen or home\u00a0 with just a can of paint.\u00a0 The cost is less if you do it your self or cost $500 to $750 with some help.\u00a0 Home Price Increase<\/strong> $1500to $2000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0Repair Damaged Floors\u00a0 Cost estimate $500-$750\u00a0 Home Price Increase $1500-$2<\/strong>000<\/li>\n
  10. Update Kitchen<\/strong>\u00a0 You don’t have to do a whole job.\u00a0 Just new appliances are great and the stores may even include installation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cost depending on the appliances…$1000 to<\/strong> $1500 Home Price Increase $$2000 to $3000<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. Update Bathrooms\u00a0 <\/strong>New faucets, new toilet seats, change out wall paper to neutral, new towel racks, new bathtub if you need it.\u00a0 Cost estimate $750-$1000\u00a0 Home<\/strong> Price<\/strong> Increase $1000-$1500<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 12. \u00a0Paint <\/strong>Exterior\u00a0 Only if necessary and this is not always possible in a planned development.\u00a0 But getting a touch up by a professional will\u00a0estimate\u00a0Cost at $750 to $1000 and the Home Price Increase will be $1500-$2000<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
