1. Painting – Whether you need to give the interior or exterior—or both—of your home a facelift, painting is the cheapest and easiest ways to keep your home looking fresh and well-maintained. With a bit of patience, you can even do the interior paint job yourself. “I would hire a professional for the exterior,” recommends Shigo.
2. Landscaping - “A messy exterior automatically sends the wrong message to buyers,” says Shigo. Keep the grass cut, the garden happy, and tools or toys out of sight. “If your budget allows, plant a few new trees or add some outdoor furniture so buyers can envision themselves spending time in your yard.
3. Accents – Linens, rugs, curtains, furniture covers – all of these can be quickly refreshed for a relatively low cost, and they really can amp your home's appeal. “Even a few throw pillows tailored to the color scheme of the season you're selling can make an interior more inviting,” notes Shigo.
4. Energy efficient updates - “If you can afford it, get a few energy efficient features added to your home. They are a major selling point right now,” says Shigo. Budget depending, you can have new windows installed, or just an energy efficient washer and dryer that you can offer as an inclusion with your sale.
