Imagine a possible buyer steps into your house and is immediately met with open and airy spaces, fresh scents, and carefully curated touches that make each room feel special. That impression can make all the difference between a quick sale and a listing that will linger. While a couple of sellers worry about spending a lot on prepping their houses, the good news is that with a couple of easy steps, you can improve your home’s appeal without ever breaking the bank. At J.A. Myers, we have spent decades helping homeowners bring their dream spaces to life, whether we’re building new, or preparing your dream home for sale. Read on to learn more!
Declutter for Space
One of the easiest ways to make your house feel a lot more open and inviting is by reducing the clutter. When rooms fill up with additional items, they can feel cramped, making it hard for buyers to see the home’s potential. Decluttering your space allows prospective buyers to imagine their belongings in the room, creating a sense of what can fit into the room. Focus on one room at a time, evaluating the purpose of every item in the space. For example, do all surfaces require various decorative pieces? Aim to keep your counters, tabletops, and shelves as open as possible. Storage solutions, like bins or drawer organizers, can help keep essentials all organized and out of sight. Limiting decorative items, especially in key spaces like living rooms and kitchens, allows you to maintain style without creating any visual clutter.
Make Small Repairs for a Well-Maintained Appearance
When buyers run into small repairs that have not been addressed, it can raise doubts about the home’s condition. Even small issues, like a leaky faucet or squeaky doors, could affect a buyer’s perception of quality. Walk through your home and create a checklist for any quick fixes. Look for items such as loose handles, chipped paint, and or lightbulbs that don’t work. Addressing these small details reassures buyers that the house is well-maintained, making it easier for them to envision themselves moving in without needing repairs immediately.
