With spring in full swing, many homeowners are looking to sell their homes and move into something new. If you’re one of those homeowners, then you’ll want to make sure that your house is ready to show to potential buyers. Here are the top 5 tips to get your house ready to sell this spring.
Declutter and Depersonalize
Remove all the clutter and personal items from your home. This includes family photos, personalized decor, and any other items that can distract potential buyers. By depersonalizing and decluttering, you’ll create a more neutral and inviting space for buyers.
Repaint and Repair
Take the time to repaint and repair any noticeable damages in your home. This can include patching holes, fixing leaks, replacing light bulbs, and replacing outdated fixtures. A fresh coat of paint and updated fixtures can give your home a modern and updated feel. For a more neutral interior color that is trending: Blank Canvas by Behr, Dove Wing by Benjamin Moore. If you are trying to add some pops of color Limewash by Sherwin Williams, Woodlawn Blue by Benjamin Moore or for a darker color Dark Olive by Benjamin Moore.
Clean and Organize
Make sure that your home is spotless and organized. This means cleaning the floors, carpets, and windows, and making sure that everything is in its proper place. A clean and organized home will give potential buyers the impression that your home is well-cared for and move-in ready.
Focus on Curb Appeal
Enhance the curb appeal of your home by improving the landscaping, adding fresh flowers, mulch, or pine straw, updating the exterior, painting the front door, and wiping down the windows, porches, and back patio. This will give buyers a great first impression and make them more likely to want to see the inside of your home.
Keep Up With Maintenance
Show proactiveness by maintaining your HVAC system and getting regular pest treatments. Buyers love seeing that you’ve taken good care of your home!
