If you’re selling your house, you’re going to need buyers. And, unless you need to sell your home urgently, you may want to do a few things that will impress those buyers so much that they’ll be willing to pay more for your house. There are a few things in a house that will leave buyers in awe. If you have the time and money to implement some of these upgrades, you should definitely consider it. It may cost you a pretty penny and mean you need to wait a while longer before putting your house on the market, but it’s worth it. Having a home with a beautiful interior will mean you’ll get higher offers.
A Fireplace
Does anything say luxury or comfort like a fireplace? We think not. Fireplaces make an excellent addition to any home and might be the thing that gives you an advantage over other sellers. Most people want fireplaces, but very few of them actually want to go through the hassle of paying for them and installing them. The solution? To buy a house that already has a fireplace. Keep in mind that fireplaces are very expensive, but they have a lot of value when determining the asking price.
Hardwood Floors
The age-old debate – carpet or tiles? – has been tossed out of the window due to the rising popularity of hardwood floors. Hardwood floors are easy to clean, and they look gorgeous. Having hardwood floors definitely adds a touch of sophistication that no other flooring can mimic. Just as with fireplaces, this is something that most people want but don’t want to install themselves, so offering it with the house is a great way to attract buyers. Traditional hardwood floors are quite pricey, but luckily various alternatives mimic hardwood floors.
Accent Walls
Most people put a fresh coat of paint on all their interior walls before attempting to sell. Many stick with the same color as the original wall since that’s easier. Others may decide to go for a newer, more modern look. Whichever route you opt for, you can add a touch of class by adding an accent wall. An accent wall is a single wall painted a different color than the other walls in the room, and it makes a striking statement by absolutely changing the entire look and feel of the room. If you’re not sure which colors to go for, you can opt for an online color generator.
Cupboards
If your house doesn’t have built-in cupboards, you’ll likely get much lower offers than you would for a house that has built-in cupboards. Built-in cupboards are a luxury that most newer homes have, but there are still a few houses that don’t have. Sadly, these don’t sell for as much since many people look for build in cupboards in their houses. If your house doesn’t have, or only some of the rooms have, consider upgrading. Alternatively, if you do have built-in cupboards, you may want to upgrade them if they’ve started to look very worn in.
