BE$T bang for your buck home improvement for home sale

First is curb appeal. 50% of the decision about buying a home comes from the impression of the exterior. House and yard should look neat, clean and tidy. Any exterior issues such as peeling paint will bias the buyer against the house before they ever set foot inside.

Second is interior space and feel. If there is furniture in the house, minimize it by putting some in storage so that you can convey a feeling of open space making the rooms feel larger. Closets are the same, reduce what’s in them to make them appear larger too. Address any big obvious issues like stained ceilings or cracks in the walls. They can destroy the buyers interest quickly.

Don’t waste your time on little details that aren’t immediately obvious. People don’t really see the small details when looking at a house, it’s the overall impression that hooks them. Once they decide they like it, they are likely to not be very concerned with minor details.
