It is simply not true.
In fact, sellers can easily overspend on a renovation that doesn’t add to their sale price.
Before you get spendy talk to local agents about a sale strategy for your home.
In most cases, you’ll be better off investing your time and energy into a proper spring clean and some simple maintenance rather than a full scale reno.
Here are #5 ways to spruce your home ready for a spring sale.
- Make a front-of-house impact. Pressure clean your driveway, clean your house exterior, and add some fresh paint to your fence and front door. Renovation done.
- Update old taps and light fittings. These accessories can date your home so get to Bunnings for some affordable updates and bring your home into the current millennium.
- Clean your windows. It’s a simple one but easily overlooked. Clean the glass, the frames, the ledges, the curtain and buyers will see the view and potential, not the dust and dirt.
- Declutter your house. Create space for buyers to imagine their furniture and belongings in your home. It will save on removalist fees if you’ve boxed up your goodies in advance.
- Tame your garden. Mow lawns, tidy edges, do the weeding and trim bushes and bushy trees to create clearance off the ground. It all gives a sense of space and tidiness.
