Simple renovation ideas to help you sell your place better
As promised, we gathered a couple of useful tips from our friends at Centennial Moving Canada, who have seen a lot of different solutions during their professional lifetime. Read on to find out what you can do and sell your place for a better price.
Simple renovation idea #1 – Fix the Outdoor Structures
The first impression is everything and this is why you have to take care of your outdoor structure. A lot of people can already make assumptions about what’s waiting for them inside the house by noticing the shape of the outdoor structure. Make sure to clean everything in front of the house, trim the plants or even install the outdoor lightning in case you don’t already have it. The outdoor seating area is also a nice way to attract buyers’ attention.
#2 – Do a full Bathroom Renovation
Things like replacing the old vanity and plumbing, fixing the lightning, and adding a new tile floor will give your bathroom an updated and modern look. If you are considering a full bathroom renovation, you should change the flooring, shower or tub, vanity, and toilet. All of these changes will be good for your home’s resale value.
#3 – Increase the light and replace the old windows
New windows will freshen up the appearance of your place. Not only that but replacing existing windows with new and improved ones can save the new homeowner a significant amount of money in heating and cooling costs. The old and drafty windows will turn off potential buyers. New windows also may assure more lightning which will give your home even more advantage. Everyone loves natural light, so the bigger the windows the better.
#4 – Kitchen Renovation
Like we’ve already mentioned, it usually the bathroom and the kitchen that get the most improvements. This can seriously add value to your home. When planning a kitchen renovation you should think about the cost of your materials. Do the research at potential costs when renovating the kitchen. The old laminate or tile counters can bring down your home’s appeal and it shouldn’t because this it’s a potential selling point. Luckily, you can always install granite or quartz counters and quickly improve your place’s look and value. Remember that you can always store appliances and breakables that you plan to take with you – a secure unit will come in handy for these types of needs until the renovation is over.
Let’s start
Now that you know what needs to be done, you are all set and ready to begin! Make sure to follow these steps and we are sure you’ll be able to renovate everything and sell your place for a really good price.
