5 Ways to Up Your Cleveland Home Resale Value
Getting a house sold in Cleveland can be an undertaking. But if you’re planning on putting your Cleveland home on the market in the future, there are some projects of different sizes that you can do to both up your home resale value, and to make it stand out more to potential buyers.
Below are a few of the best ways to increase your Cleveland home resale value.
Install New Flooring
“New flooring” is one of the most common features on listings for home sales. Regardless what type of floors they are, from hardwood to tile to carpet, new floors increase your home’s appeal during a walkthrough and can help a home sell quickly.
If you’re trying to move your home quickly, try putting in some less expensive berber carpet or vinyl flooring that will make a big impression without hurting your wallet too much. If you’re comfortable in your home at the moment but you know that you’ll sell it down the road, think about putting in hardwood flooring or natural tile, which will last generations and can make a large impact on your resale value.
Rethink Your Lighting
When you hear about lighting, most people start thinking about light fixtures. Though installing new or stylish light fixtures is a great idea, don’t forget to pay attention to how you can make use of natural light indoors.
Utilizing natural light can make your house seem more spacious, brighter, and more livable. Additionally, potential buyers are more likely to tour your home during the day, when natural light will be a bigger player in how your home looks than indoor lighting.
Think about installing window treatments that can make the most out of natural light. Plantation shutters in Cleveland are a great choice, as they give you a lot of freedom in the angle that sunlight comes in.
Spruce Up Smaller Details
Getting shiny new appliances, millwork, and other large-scale projects might help your house’s listing stand out, but you might get a lot more bang for your buck by focusing on your home’s small details.
Get new faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Get new handles and knobs for your drawers and cabinetry. Repolish the handrail and banister of your staircase. Get new vent covers for your ceiling and floor vents. Each of these smaller fixes can make a big visual impact at a fraction of the cost of bigger projects.
Maximize Storage Space
“Space” is the big word here. All the closets, extra rooms, and square footage in the world won’t appeal to potential buyers if they’re full and cluttered with your belongings.
Make room in your closets by using space-saving organizers, clear out rooms leaving only the bare necessities, and store unnecessary furniture or belongings into a short-term storage unit or into your new house.
Control The Temperature
If potential buyers don’t feel comfortable while walking through your home, chances are they’re not going to remember it fondly when coming to a decision. The simplest way to make sure guests are comfortable is to dial up your thermostat – don’t hesitate to make your air conditioner put in work during the summer and likewise with the furnace during winter.
You can lessen the stress on both you and your HVAC system by doing more to insulate your space. An effective window treatment such as Polywood® plantation shutters can help block heat loss through the glass by half, making climate control in your home a breeze.
