Homebuyers are looking for the best possible deal on a house. This doesn’t mean they want the cheapest home; they want the best value.

You have to create that value by making your home better than anything else they’re going to see in their price range. Buyers are more willing to spend a little extra for a home that’s just better than the rest.

1. Upgrade Your Fans and Light Fixtures

Chances are your house has the same fans and lights every other home in your neighborhood has. Basic builders grade fixtures and fans are an eyesore. Even so,5 Ways to Update Your House to Sell it Faster Articles most people never get around to updating them. This is good for you. Updating the fans and interior fixtures make a house feel fancier and feel more expensive. Buyers will notice this immediately, and their interest will be peaked. It’s not as hard and expensive as you think.

2. Update Anything You Can in the Bathrooms

The master bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house for home buyers. An ugly master bath is a selling agent’s worst nightmare. You have to do whatever you can to make sure the master bathroom as nice as you can make it.

Upgrading the sink faucets make a bathroom feel more customized. Don’t do anything too crazy; stay in line with the theme of your home. Replace your own vanity. Installing a new vanity is not as hard as it seems, especially if it’s a small vanity, like what you find in powder baths.

3. Repair Walls, Repaint if Needed

Patch up any holes and smooth out dents and imperfections on the walls. This is an easy fix you can do yourself. Re-paint the trim if it looks old and has paint chipping off. If you have walls painted with bright or unique colors, repaint them to a neutral color. Grey walls are very popular right now. Painting is very simple, but it can be time-consuming. Spending the extra time to make your walls look great will be well worth it.

4. Give Your House Curb Appeal

The front of your home is the very first thing buyers will see. Not only in person but online. If your home looks dingy, some people may not even click on your listing. Having a bright red door will catch buyers’ attention. Some homes won’t look right with a colorful front door. If it doesn’t look great, repaint the same color; just make sure it looks nice.

5. Declutter and Clean

This is an obvious one. It’s an immediate turn-off if a home is dirty and cluttered. Buyers won’t be able to see their stuff in the home because all they can see is your stuff cluttering the place. Keep it clean and simple.

Even if you’re not selling your home just yet but want to be ready, make these home updates now so you can enjoy a nicer home for the time you’re there.
