5 Projects to Increase Your Phoenix Home Value
Selling a house in Phoenix can be a process. But if you’re planning on trying to sell your Phoenix home in the near future, there are a number of projects of different sizes that you can plan to make your home stand out more to home buyers.
These are a few of the most effective ways to increase your Phoenix home resale value.
Install New Flooring
“New flooring” is one of the most common features on listings for home sales. Regardless what kind of flooring it is, from wood to vinyl to carpet, new flooring improves your home’s appeal during a walkthrough and can help a home sell more quickly.
If you’re trying to move your home quickly, think about installing some less expensive berber carpet or vinyl flooring that can make a big impact without hurting your wallet too much. If you’re in your home for the long haul but you know that you’ll sell it someday, think about installing hardwood floors or natural tile, which will last generations but can make a big impact on your home’s value.
Rethink Your Lighting
When you hear about lighting, most people start thinking about interior lighting. While installing high quality or stylish light fixtures like track lighting or responsive LED lighting is a good idea, remember to pay attention to how you can manipulate natural light indoors.
Utilizing natural light can make your space seem larger, brighter, and more livable. Besides, you’re more likely to have a potential buyer tour during the day, when sunlight will be more important than interior lighting.
Try putting in window treatments that help you get the most out of natural light. Plantation shutters in Phoenix are a nice choice, since they give you a lot of freedom in the angle that sunlight comes through your windows.
Spruce Up The Little Things
Getting fancy appliances, cabinets and drawers, and other large-scale projects might help your home stand out, but you may get a lot more bang for your buck by focusing on smaller details in your home.
Put in new faucets in your bathroom and kitchen. Install new handles and knobs for all of your cabinets and drawers. Restain the handrail and banister of your staircase. Get new vent covers for your ceiling and floor vents. Each of these smaller projects can make a big visual impact at a fraction of the cost of bigger projects.
Increase Your Storage Space
“Space” is the operative word here. All the closets, extra rooms, and square footage in the world won’t appeal to potential buyers if they’re filled with all your belongings.
Make room in your closets with space-saving organizers, clear out rooms except for the bare essentials, and store unwanted furniture or belongings into a storage unit or into your new home.
Control The Temperature
If possible buyers aren’t comfortable while walking through your home, there’s not a good chance that they remember it fondly when making a decision. The easiest way to keep them comfortable is to dial up your thermostat – don’t be afraid to make your air conditioner put in work during the summer and likewise with the heater during winter.
You can decrease the stress on both you and your A/C and heater by doing more to insulate your space. An effective window treatment such as Polywood® plantation shutters can help reduce heat loss through the glass by half, making the temperature in your home much easier to control.
