Here’s How To Pimp Your Property Before It Hits The Market

Getting ready to sell your house? Here’s a quick reference guide with ideas that can pay off by improving the value of your property and even help sell faster.

It’s a new year and along with a new year come some changes. Some people might opt for a new career others, a new house! If you want to sell your home in 2017 then we have some great ideas that can pay off and improve the value of your property, plus they may even help sell your property faster….

Paint

A fresh coat of paint is an easy and low cost way to freshen up any area in the home. Keep wall colour and interior paint as neutral as possible because this will not only appeal to a wider range of people but it offers a blank canvas that allows people to visualise their own furnishings. Just remember – a dark red feature wall may be a funky addition some people might love, but it will not sell your house.

Comfort

People want to visualise themselves in cosiness and making the space their own, so adding the impression of comforts, particularly ones that appeal to the senses – such as lush carpeting, crisp walls, modern conveniences and appliances – will help put potential buyers in the home owning frame of mind and play to their emotional side.

Bonus tip: fresh air will appeal to the psyche and indicate new beginnings and freedom. Install fly screens on windows, security doors to encourage air flow.

Fixtures and fittings

Ensure your tapware, door knobs and handles are new, matching or themed cohesively throughout the place. This attention to detail will provide a finished look and feel to potential home buyers. Don’t underestimate the attractiveness of high quality and modern look items.

The same applies to lighting fixtures as well – upgrade and modernise those wall sconces and pendant lighting. Downlights, spotlights and uplights are all big trend items that add to a sleek look to your house.

Entertainment

Entertainment is a huge factor in our South Aussie lifestyle, so it makes sense that a solid investment is a decking, patio or barbeque area, particularly one that can be used in all seasons and is sheltered from the harsh sun and the rain.

For even more outdoor glamour you can include kitchen or fire pit, if you have the budget shade sails are a cost effective and easy DIY option for shelter.

Entrance

What’s one of the first things that people will notice about your house? The entranceway door! This is an essential detail that should never be missed. Timber doors are cost effective but look expertly elegant, particularly with routed detail.

Landscaping

Your attention to detail shouldn’t stop when you walk out the door. Invest in a good landscaper to make the absolute most of your yard space. No matter the size, having your outdoor areas professionally tended to can really make a difference to the property you are selling. Not only will it highlight the building but provide a sanctuary for prospective owners.

Solar

85% of Australians believe that rooftop solar panels add value to any home and three quarters of Australian renters said they would pay more rent for an abode with solar panels. Installing rooftop solar panels can help you to sell your home faster and add value and are a great way to appeal to those more environmentally conscious and seeking a cost effective way to manage utility bills.

Clean

And finally, don’t overlook one of the most crucial aspects of readying your house for the market. And if you need to hire a professional cleaners to help, so be it! Keeping the house as clean and uncluttered as possible will be the difference in appealing to buyers or putting them off.
