Not everyone wants to take on a “fixer upper,” but you certainly want to make sure you get as much money as possible when you go to sell. But what are some affordable upgrades you can make yourself without having to take on any major construction projects? Have a look at these ways to increase your home’s value
Light Fixtures
Updated lighting fixtures can give any home a lift! A good fixture will not only brighten a room, but it can also make it more modern. Similar to light fixtures, you can also consider replacing dated ceiling fans. However, find a licensed electrician to do the work, as electricity is dangerous by nature.
Switch Plates
Replacing your switch plates is also a simple, affordable thing you can do to increase your home’s value.
Appliances
If your appliances are old or not working, you should consider replacing them before selling. However, keep in mind that when one appliance doesn’t match the others, it stands out. While brand is not necessarily important, color is. So if your oven is black, you may consider a black cooktop as well. Or, if you’re considering replacing them all, stainless is always a good, neutral option.
Knobs
Although something like door or cabinet knobs seems simple, details matter when you’re selling your home! Simply changing out the knobs on your doors or cabinets can make all the difference.
Paint
You may not want to hear it, but painting a room can really make it look like new…especially if your walls are painted in bright shades! Neutral colors will appeal to more buyers, so keep beiges, off whites, and grays in mind.
Just these upgrades alone can help you increase your home’s value when you go to sell. For any of your home improvement projects, contact the professionals at The Bosworth Company! We can help!
