Prep Your Home Now for a Spring Sale
Are you a little restless when icy conditions keep you indoors? If you’re thinking about selling your home, ready it for the spring market by completing these tasks now:
Declutter/tidy. Begin packing up tchotchke and personal items. Buyers want to see themselves in the space and imagine their belongings in the rooms. By streamlining the number of photos or artwork on walls, you’ll see areas that might need cleaning, repair, or a fresh coat of paint.
Downsize. Let go of excessive furniture that doesn’t serve a specific purpose. Garage sale apps can help you sell off any purged items.
Make room for storage. Create open areas so buyers can see where they can add shelving, cupboards, or bookshelves.
Build. If you have a wide hallway or large bathroom there might be space for new cabinets, if you have the budget and interest. Home improvements can add to the value of your property.
Give grout new life. If your bathroom looks a little worn, scour and apply fresh grout between tiles. Carefully caulk around the perimeter of your tub. It’s an absolute must! Don’t cover up dirt; give everything a thorough scrub before making these upgrades.
With a clean, open home you’ll be ready to paint, stage, and show your house when the weather warms up!
