Improving your Colorado Mountain Home ValueImproving your Colorado mountain home value • Landscaping • New appliances / Cabinets • New carpet • Painting • Interior decorating To increase both the value and marketability of your home, upgrading and fixing up the house is a necessity. However, to what extent and at what expense to complete the work are important questions to ask. You will be required to fix all major and even some minor imprerfections when you sell the house, so go ahead and take the initiative. This will cut down on last minute repairs and make your property look better. The first step to increase the value of your home is to spruce up the house and fix minor repairs, especially those visual on a walkthrough. First off, take a look at your house and replace any fixtures that are broken, cracked, or falling apart. Make sure all appliances are running efficiently. Some important improvements to considers are those to the cabinets and fixtures in the kitchen. Look at them as if you were the buyer and paint, replace, or change hardware as needed. Replacing old and worn out carpets will give a good clean visual impression with the buyer. Select neutral colors that go with everything and a high quality pad that gives expensive feel. The tidiness of outside of the house is an important aspect for improving the overall value of the home. Eliminating any visual imperfections not only makes the property look better, it gives a very good first impression on the upkeep and feel of the property. Evaluate the extent to which the landscaping needs enhancing. This may be as simple as mowing the lawn and trimming back bushes or may involve planting a few plants or flowers to brighten the entrance to a home and add perceived value. Cracked driveways or walkways need to be sealed or replaced. If you own an older property, replacing outdated drafty windows with more energy efficient ones is an excellent selling point especially in colder climate areas. Perhaps what your home needs is some interior decorating. Whether you hire an expert or do it yourself, the little extras will lead to a quick and appealing sale of your house. |
