How to Get the Highest Price for Your Property: Renovations with the Highest Return on Investment

The transaction process can be stressful, no matter which side you are on. In a hot market like we are currently experiencing, most sellers aren't too concerned about whether their property will sell, but maximizing is another matter.

Even if your property is in tip-top condition, there are still things you can do to ensure a smooth sale and top dollar.  

Most importantly, make sure that you're working with an experienced agent who knows your market. Your agent can make or break your experience, especially in a hot real estate environment. The average individual only buys and sells a property a few times in their lives, whereas professionals work in real estate almost every day. So, connect with an agent you trust who puts you first and understands your goals.

As you prepare your home for sale, you want to make sure that it presents its best so that you attract as many buyers as you can. A bidding war almost always leads to the highest possible price. Although you don't have to spend a fortune to have a massive impact, some simple improvements can have an incredible return on investment. Here are some quick tips to help you get the top dollar for your property:

 

  1. Deep clean your home. This may seem simple, but it can't be stressed how much of a difference a clean property makes to buyers. Put away any clutter and personal items, including family photos. If you're not professionally staging your property, then your counters, tables, and shelves should be sparsely decorated. Carpets need to be cleaned, walls washed, and glass polished. You want every corner of your property to shine. If it fits in your budget, hire a professional team to sweep through your home.
    It may be surprising, but a deep clean can have the highest return on investment of any home improvement.
  2. Add a fresh coat of paint. Fresh, neutral-colored paint can deliver one of the most significant returns on investments. If you have accent walls, dated colors, or it’s just been a while since the home was painted, painting your home must be high on your list.
  3. Revitalize your exterior. First impressions matter, especially when it comes to curb appeal. Make your front exterior is inviting and fresh. Secondly, consider adding an outdoor living space such as a patio to your backyard.
  4. Give your bathrooms a facelift. You don't have to dig too deep in your pocket to make some impressive changes in small spaces. Tile paint and updated tap fixtures can bring a dated bathroom into the current century.
  5. Go big with a kitchen remodel. If you have a decent budget and your kitchen is in need of some serious love, don’t be afraid to splash out. Kitchens are the most inspected part of a home. A well-designed new kitchen will help your home sell faster and at a much higher price.

 

If you're not sure what improvements will have the biggest impact on your property, consult with your agent. We work in the market every day and understand what can make a property perform and achieve the highest price.
