Inexpensive Renovations To Help Sell Your Northwest Valley House

April 30, 2019

Inexpensive Renovations

Your home is probably your biggest investment. When it comes time to sell, don’t let the idea overwhelm you. Not all renovations are created equal and some may attract buyers while others can actually turn off buyers. To make sure your renovations actually pay off, we’ve put together this list of some inexpensive renovations that can help you sell your Northwest Valley house without breaking the bank.

ADD A FRESH COAT OF PAINT TO THE EXTERIOR

Your home’s exterior is one of the first things potential buyers see. A fresh coat of paint is a great starting point. This is one of the inexpensive renovations that can have an immediate impact. Stick to a nice neutral color that will match the neighborhood.

Here’s a handy guide to help get you started. If you don’t feel comfortable tackling the job yourself, you can hire professionals to paint your house.

CLEAN YOUR WINDOWS

If you haven’t had your windows professionally cleaned, now is the time. This inexpensive renovation task can make a huge difference in the curb appeal as well as how well the inside of your home shows to potential buyers. And, If you have sun or bug screens ask the company if that is included in the price, often times it is. Clean windows brighten and freshen your home by letting in more natural light.

EXTERIOR FACELIFT

You’ve painted your house, now let’s look around at some of the other inexpensive renovations that can help you sell your Northwest Valley house. A new set of house numbers is a good place to start. While you’re repainting don’t forget your front door. Try a bold accent color that works well with the rest of your home’s exterior but is different enough to be a focal point. If your front doors hardware is dated or tarnished, consider buying new. It will really make a difference. A new welcome mat and either fresh flowers or potted plants on either side make a huge statement. The front door is where most buyers will spend the longest amount of time outside your house. Make sure it’s welcoming and give them something nice to look at while the agent is opening the door.

PAINT INTERIOR WALLS

There’s a reason this is often the first suggestion when it comes to inexpensive renovations. A fresh coat of paint freshens and brightens up a space with little cost and effort. Make sure you are sticking to neutral colors here; you want to give buyers a chance to imagine their furniture in the space.

If you’re short on time and don’t mind spending a little extra, it’s worth it to pay for a professional painter to get the job done in a day or two. To save money, consider painting your walls yourself. Make sure you invest in a quality paint; you don’t want to have to paint twice and the end result will be well worth it and make your job easier.

Remember, just because you love that bright wall color you put on your walls, buyers may not. It’s harder for buyers to imagine living in the space if its painted to a very specific taste. You want to try and create a blank canvas for buyers to envision living there. Think back to the last time you were in a model home. There’s a reason they use neutral colors. They are creating a feeling with buyers. The more a potential buyer can picture themselves living in your home, the better the offers may be.

UPGRADE YOUR BACKSPLASH

Another inexpensive renovation that can help you sell your Northwest Valley house is a new kitchen backsplash. Backsplashes have increased in popularity in recent years. A fresh backsplash can change your kitchen for the better. Simply adding a new backsplash can give your kitchen a whole new feel without the hassle or expense of a full remodel.

A new backsplash can simply be an inexpensive peel and stick tile, or you can go all out and get an elegant and expensive looking backsplash. Keep the rest of your kitchen in mind as well to make sure you end up with a cohesive look.

REFRESH YOUR BATHROOM

A modern, fresh-looking bathroom is up there with a great-looking kitchen among the big selling points for a home. You can achieve this inexpensive renovation without a full remodel by painting the cabinets and walls. Replace worn or dated hardware for something new and sleek or remove them altogether.

Bathrooms are generally smaller, so you can make a bigger impact here with less money. Another way to make a big impact in this small space is to replace the shower doors. This inexpensive swap can save you thousands compared to a full shower remodel and makes for a fresh look in any bathroom. A light, bright neutral shower curtain has the same effect if you have a tub vs shower doors.

  • "Working with Braiden during our transition from Oregon to Arizona was great!"

    She made it incredible easy for us. While in the process of purchasing our home she was professional, always ready to answer questions, and open to hearing our concerns. By the end of it all, we felt confident in our decisions because she was such a great support. I strongly recommend Braiden as a realtor!
