5 Tips to Help Up Your Atlanta Home Value
Selling a home in Atlanta is an undertaking. But if you’re planning on putting your Atlanta home up for sale in the next few years, there are a number of projects of different sizes that you can work on to both increase your home resale value, and to make it stand out more to possible buyers.
Below are a few of the most effective ways to up your Atlanta home value.
Install New Flooring
“New floors” is one of the most desireable features on listings for a good reason. Regardless what kind of floors they are, from hardwood to laminate to carpet, new flooring improves your home’s appeal during a walkthrough and can help a listing move more quickly.
If you’re trying to move your home quickly, think about putting in some cheaper berber carpet or LVT flooring that can make a big impact without costing a fortune. If you’ll stay with your current home for a while but you know that you’ll sell it down the road, think about putting in hardwood flooring or natural tile, which lasts a lifetime and can make a huge impact on your resale value.
Rethink Your Lighting
When thinking about lighting, most home sellers start thinking about light fixtures. Although installing new or stylish light fixtures is a great idea, remember to pay attention to how you can use natural light in your home.
Using natural light can make your home feel more spacious, brighter, and cozier. Besides, you’re more likely to have a potential buyer walk through during the day, when natural light will make a bigger impact than light fixtures.
Think about installing window treatments that can make the most out of natural light. Plantation shutters in Atlanta are a perfect choice, as they let you adjust the angle that sunlight comes in.
Spruce Up Smaller Details
Putting in brand-new appliances, millwork, and other big projects can help your home get noticed, but you can get your money to go farther by spending time on your home’s small details.
Get new faucets in the bathroom and kitchen. Put in newer handles and knobs for your drawers and cabinetry. Repolish the handrail and banister of your staircase. Get new vent covers for your ceiling and floor vents. All of these tiny fixes can make a big visual impact at a fraction of the cost of other projects.
Increase Your Storage Space
“Space” is the operative word here. All the closets, number of rooms, and square footage in the world won’t appeal to potential buyers if they’re too full to appreciate.
Arrange your closets by using space-saving organizers, clear out rooms except for the bare necessities, and store unwanted furniture or belongings into a short-term storage unit or into your new home.
Control The Temperature
If possible buyers don’t feel comfortable while touring your home, there’s not a good chance that they remember it fondly when making a decision. The simplest way to make guests comfortable is to crank your thermostat – don’t be afraid to make your AC put in work during the summer and likewise with the furnace during winter.
You can reduce the workload on yourself and your HVAC system by doing more to insulate your space. An insulating window treatment such as Polywood® plantation shutters will help block heat loss through your windows by half, making it a lot easier to control the temperature in your home.
