Five Quick Tips to Improve your Home’s Value

 Five Quick Tips to Improve your Home’s Value

Sure, a complete renovation of your house might see its value soar, but such repairs and updates could take a lot more money, energy, and time, than you have to spare. Thankfully, with just a few key modernizing touches you can increase your home’s value and hit all the right notes with potential buyers.  

Not only are these upgrades essential for selling in Omaha’s competitive market, but they are easy and going to save you more than a few bucks. Or maybe you are curious about what your home is worth in its current condition. If so, we can help with that as well.

Increase your Home’s Value with these Contemporary upgrades.

1) Make It Bright!

Nobody likes walking into a dark room. Invite your potential buyers into a space by adding recessed lights to your home’s interior. You can give it a fresh, modernized, look by installing under-cabinet lighting and the addition of natural light. Don’t be afraid to highlight parts of the room with creative light placements.

You’ll be surprised at how big a difference the addition of a little extra light can make. If you have the funds to bring in some gorgeous sunlight, consider the installation of skylights, French doors, and windows. If the addition of new windows and doors is outside your budget, don’t worry. Residents of Omaha know how harsh winters can be, and the addition of normal in-house lighting can go a long way to attracting a potential buyer.

2) Add a Splash of Color.

No secret here. Adding a fresh layer of paint is one of the easiest and most cost-effective updates you can do for a home. A fresh coat not only has the ability to brighten up a room (depending on the color) but gives it a crisp clean updated feel. With a single change of color you can alter the entire vibe and mood of a room, so be careful what color you pick.

Bear in mind that neutral colors are going to resonate with the greatest number of potential buyers. And don’t forget to cover and tape any areas you don’t want dripped, dropped, or splattered on. There are a few tricks for getting paint out of carpet, but this is one situation where the old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” holds true.

3) Fix the Bathroom.

This is one upgrade that is worth the pain. Giving the bathroom a fresh look is one of the key ways to sell your Omaha house. Granted, updating the bathroom is not always the cheapest or easiest task. It involves replacing old toilets and ugly sinks, replacing the floor, and replacing fixtures. It can be a lot of work, no getting around it, but if increasing your home’s value is your goal, then this is one of the surest ways of doing so.

It may seem like a lot of money to spend on one room, but you will get far more than you spent on it when it comes time to sell. Updating the bathroom is one of the surest ways to boost your home’s value. 

4) Make the Bedroom Spark.

Adding a few exotic, yet realistic, touches to the master bedroom will go a long way to attracting buyers. Hardwood is definitely in right now, so consider updating to wooden floor to give it a sharp, new, look. You may already have wooden floors, or maybe they are simply hiding beneath old carpet. Don’t be shy about refinishing any old flooring to give it a shiny new appearance. Light fixtures, wall décor, and furniture can transform a living space from a sleeping area to a welcoming and homey room. It will entice buyers while adding value to the property.

5) Fix, or Add, a Porch.

It’s no small task, but adding a deck or porch is worth the effort. It is guaranteed to increase your property’s value while distinguishing it from the competition. Add warm lighting, plants, a touch of home, and potential buyers will be racing to close so they can sit back and relax on your new deck.

Decks aren’t cheap, and they may not add as much value at closing as some of the other upgrades we mentioned, but they do an amazing job at attracting buyers. If you live in a neighborhood where there are not many decks or patios, then consider spending the money to build one or fix your current one. Having a deck can be the single feature that sells an Omaha house.
