Selling Soon? Consider These 3 Inexpensive Upgrades Which Will Raise Your Edmonton Home’s Value
The goal of most Edmonton homeowners who are preparing to list their Edmonton home for sale is to make their home more desirable to a potential buyer. The underlying goal may be to get the highest sales price possible from selling the property, to sell the home more quickly or to accomplish a combination of both of these. While some Edmonton homeowners will invest a small fortune in improvements to their home before listing it, others may be focused on making small improvements that will add true value and that will raise home value. These are a few great ideas that homeowners can consider as value-added improvements to their Edmonton home.
Dress Up the Kitchen Back Splash
The kitchen is one of the key selling points in an Edmonton home, but it can be costly to replace counters, cabinets and appliances. The back splash, however, is highly visible, and it is rather affordable to update. Depending on the size of the kitchen and the materials that you select to use, this improvement may be only a few hundred dollars to complete. It can make the kitchen more desirable, and this can have a great improvement on the desirability of the entire home to a potential buyer.
Refinish the Cabinets
Outdated or worn cabinets can make a home look older than its years, and this can decrease desirability to a potential Edmonton home buyer. While replacing the cabinets in the kitchen or bathrooms may not be in the homeowner’s budget, there are affordable solutions available to improve the look of cabinets. For example, some cabinets can be painted. There are also refinishing kits available that homeowners can use. Homeowners can dress the finished cabinets up with new hardware, and this can give the kitchen and bathrooms an incredible facelift that makes the spaces look newer and modern.
Update the Front Door
The front door is among the first features that buyers will see when they drive up to the property, and it will continue to be a focal point as they walk into the home. With this in mind, the condition and style of the front door can have a dramatic improvement on value and appeal alike. A very affordable option is to paint the front door and replace the hardware. Re-staining the door is another option for wood doors. For homeowners with a larger budget, there are some attractive front door styles available at the lower end of the price range that can add style to the home. Consider replacing the front door mat and front porch light to finish the look.
When preparing to list a home for sale, it makes sense that homeowners want to focus on making repairs that will add true value to the home. They want to recoup the investment they are making with an increase to the sales price or other related benefits.
