How to Boost Your Property Value Post-Pandemic.
Selling your property as the pandemic continues can be tricky. We’re all far too used to spending time indoors at home so we’re particularly discerning when it comes to shopping for houses. There are, however, some tried and true tricks to increasing your property’s value and making it more appealing to those buying in a post-pandemic world. Here are just a few of them, courtesy of Simply Oak™
Pay attention to the exterior
The first thing a buyer will see is the outside of your home, so you ought to ensure it’s looking its best. There are a few minor things you can do to spruce up the exterior of your property without a major overhaul. Start by working with American Render Miami and getting a 3D rendering of your home from the outside, as well as in, so you have a better picture of what you or your contractor should be working towards in terms of improvements.
A fresh coat of paint will go a long way to refreshing your home post-pandemic. You should also ensure your outside walls show no sign of wear or damage. These are major red flags when it comes to selling that can and will lose you buyers.
Upgrade doors and windows
As well as making your home more aesthetically pleasing to buyers, new doors and windows can make your home more energy-efficient. This is a boon for buyers looking to take care of the environment. It’ll also help insulate the home, making it more comfortable for those that reside in it. For those of us who have been stuck at home during lockdowns, this is a major benefit.
Landscaping
If lockdown didn’t inspire you to tackle your garden then now’s the time! Buyers love a beautifully landscaped yard, and it doesn’t take a lot of investment to give yours an overhaul. A household’s yard is generally considered a good indicator of the state of the rest of the property. Overgrown yards are a big red flag for potential buyers. Investing in a quick landscape is a great way to boost your property value post-pandemic and give your buyers something to talk about. Just search Angi for “landscape grading near me” and check their ratings and reviews to find the right professional for you.
Flooring
The floors of your house will often see the most wear, so it stands to reason they could use an upgrade before you sell your property. Further, most buyers will pay attention to the state of your flooring when inspecting your house. Old, musty carpet should be done away with. If you have hardwood floors, look at giving them a wash and a polish. Your property value will thank you.
Bathroom and toilet repairs
You needn’t go overboard with a bathroom remodel, but fixing up any old or faulty fixtures will go a long way to increasing your property value. Good bathroom space is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Even small repairs such as a new coat of paint or fixing grout will do wonders. This is also a great opportunity to replace older fixtures with newer, energy-efficient models.
Light fixtures
Good lighting is essential for the comfort of any home. If you have any old or broken light fixtures, now’s the time for an upgrade. Opt for more eco-friendly fixtures and bulbs. In the post-pandemic world, most buyers are keenly aware of how fragile the environment can be so they’re more likely to appreciate eco-friendly options.
