How to Boost Your Spring Home Sale for Under $10,000. Casey Martinez from Gillett News talks shares tips from Ray Ellis.
Preparing your home for a spring sale doesn’t have to break the bank. Real estate experts suggest that spending around $10,000 on updates and renovations can significantly increase your chances of achieving a favorable result in the market. First National Real Estate CEO Ray Ellis recommends starting with a kitchen update, which can be done for less than $15,000 by painting faded splashbacks or resurfacing kitchen cupboards and benchtops. Next on the list is a budget-friendly bathroom update that includes replacing old fixtures or regrouting shower tiles.
Other recommendations include landscaping the garden, refreshing the paint by repainting the interior in neutral tones, replacing old carpets or polishing the floors underneath, and adding or sprucing up outdoor living spaces. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient light fixtures and cleaning or replacing doors and windows can also enhance a home’s appeal. Decluttering and deep cleaning the property can significantly improve presentation, and professional staging can highlight the home’s best features.
