Usually, the most cosmetically appealing home on the market is the first to sell at a higher price. As I have mentioned, the real estate market has been rapidly changing, and demand has decreased considerably because of higher interest rates at around 7% on average. So, if you have been thinking about selling your home in the short or long term, it’s essential to keep it updated because once we put it out for sale, buyers will compare it to other homes on the market.
But what are the most beneficial upgrades regarding Return On Investment (ROI)? Here’s our top 5 list:
1. Believe it or not, a “refresh” of the most common spaces will be the best cost-effective project. Declutter, deep cleaning, a fresh coat of paint, and staging will do the trick. You must focus on the kitchen, living room, primary bedroom, and primary bathroom.
2. We all know that the first impression matters most, so focus on improving your curb appeal. All you need to do is clean the front of your home, add some new plants, a fresh coat of paint, and update your front door.
3. New flooring and paint throughout the home. It will immediately give a fresh feel to the property.
4. Remodel kitchen and bathrooms. Although these projects are a little more costly, they usually give sellers a 60 – 90% ROI.
