Luring Potential Homebuyers
Given today’s challenged real estate market and all of the
struggles that homeowners are having when it comes to selling their
homes, why not let the experts from EXPO Design Center help your
readers lure potential homebuyers with professional-grade tips for
transforming any space. Below are ten quick and easy things that
your readers can do to inexpensively spruce up their homes and
infuse new energy into drab spaces.
1. Choose three main focal rooms, such as the kitchen, bathroom and main living space and make these spaces appear spacious and inviting so that homebuyers can begin to envision their family in the home.
2. Give focal rooms and foyer a fresh coat of paint. Neutral colors such as beige and cream appeal to a variety of tastes and do not overpower potential buyers, so stick to soft, muted shades. Hint: Don’t forget to paint crown molding too.
3. Purchase new hardware and faucets in bathrooms and kitchens. Though small, this update will have a lasting impact.
4. Make sure the lighting is right. For instance, add drama with fun pendant lights in the kitchen or bathroom and make the family room feel cozy with soft table or floor lamps.
5. Replace worn accessories such as throw pillows and area rugs with new ones for a fresh look.
6. Clear all visible clutter. Knowing that space is almost always an issue, homeowners should focus on keep their spaces (closets and bookshelves included) organized and clear of clutter, paperwork and too many knickknacks.
7. Create curb appeal by maintaining the yard, planting simple flowers around the entry way and having the entry way well lit. Ordering new house numbers is also a plus.
8. Create charm by placing a fresh vase of flowers on the kitchen counter or in the front foyer.
9. It may seem small, but dingy towels in the kitchen and in the bathroom can be a turn off for buyers, especially considering many buyers are looking to start fresh in their new home. Replace old towels with new ones.
10. Keep it clean! Although new accessories and hardware go a long way, dusting and vacuuming can also do wonders.
