Are you truly thinking about selling your home? If yes, then it is time to grab your old toolbox out of the garage. Be ready to get your hands dirty. The real estate market is becoming increasingly competitive. It is true that the price of your home is largely determined by market conditions; however, there are some easy ways to add value to your home.

Making your home aesthetically attractive before sale, is of great importance. The first impression is the last impression, and your home should leave a solid impression in the minds of potential home buyers.

Do you know the term ‘turnkey’? A turnkey home is the one where a buyer can move in instantly and start living happily without any worries about unfinished projects that obstruct regular home usage. The houses close to turnkey standards definitely have higher rates. Let us have a look at some simple ways to add to your home’s market value before you put it on sale-

External Walls, Landscaping and yard lighting-

The outside of your home is the first thing a potential buyer sees. Obviously no one will invest in an old, ugly, dilapidated place. Try to make the entrance clean and attractive. If the walls are made of weather-board, check out if any replacement is needed. In case you have a brick home, get all gaps filled. For rendered walls, fill the cracks with fresh concrete. If a paint job is needed, do it! Your home will look modern and pleasant with new paint. Fresh new colors will attract more buyers.

People definitely love a nice external appearance with a well maintained yard. You can change the old and tired look of your yard by investing in shrubs, new soil, trees or rockery. All these things will give a new life to your yard. If your yard looks boring, dead or messy, then potential buyers may be distracted. Your yard should actually look inviting so that potential buyers start to imagine themselves relaxing and sitting back in the yard with a cup of coffee and a book. Put new lights wherever necessary. It will create a new atmosphere. You can get a stylish yet energy efficient range in the market easily.

Windows and Doors:

Doors and windows play an important role in keeping your home aerated and fresh, besides adding aesthetic values to your home. If your budget allows, invest in replacing old windows and doors with modern energy efficient stylish options. A house with energy efficient, attractive and environmently conscious doors and windows will definitely have more market value. Today, numerous options are available. You can even shop for the same through the internet. Check out the current trends and the options, which will work best.

Internal floors- Nowadays, people always want their home to be stylish and easy to clean. Flooring is an essential aspect that adds value to your home. Your flooring should uniformly unite all of the various areas in your house. If your carpet or floor needs repairs, then get these fixed to avoid possible bad impression buyers otherwise may have had.
Kitchen- A kitchen is an integral aspect considered while buying a house. If your kitchen needs your attention, then look for bench-top replacements, water taps or cupboards repair. Think about your potential buyer. Look at websites to get ideas about making the space more functional yet inviting.
Toilets and Bathrooms-:

Aesthetically appealing, functional and user friendly bathrooms and toilets will attract more buyers. Investing in new cupboards, showers, bathtubs or toilets can make a big hole in your pocket. Here you need to act smart and make necessary changes within your budget. Try to repair small details like bathtubs and chipped sinks. Replace old light fixtures. Clean your exhaust fans.

Is this all overwhelming to you? Do not worry! First of all, plan your budget, list out essential repairs and then think wisely to make your house appealing to buyers in an easy yet cost effective way.
