RENOVATE
DECORATIONS
Simpel decorations can
make the buyer to feel
like at home
H
ere are a
few“smart
makeovers”
you might
consider:
KITCHEN
New flooring, cabinets,
counter tops, appliances
and lighting can be costly,
but buyers typically look
for updated kitchens,
and you will recover a
large percentage of your
expenses on resale. Even
a minor facelift – for
instance, new paint, floor
covering, cabinet doors
and hardware – can pay
off in a faster sale at a
better price.
BATHROOMS
As with the kitchen,
renovating bathrooms
can pay off in terms of both value
and marketability, especially in an
older house. Opt for good lighting,
large mirrors, attractive fixtures and
materials, plenty of storage and
neutral colors.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT IMPROVE-
MENTS
With everyone “going green” these
days, energy saving upgrades and
repairs that reduce bills can be a
selling point. For example: solar en-
ergy for hot water. There are many
options, so do some research and
talk to a home product professional
to find those improvements that
best fit your plans and budget.
