The bay windows in this bedroom highlight the beauty of the furnishings in it. Featured here is the Upholstered Shelter King Bed from the Harbor Springs Collection of Fine Furniture Design.<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the chief mistakes that most homeowners make when they are about to sell their homes is their hesitation to upgrade. They think that they\u2019re not gonna live there any longer so why make added efforts? But it is said that an upgrade or home improvement right before selling the home can up the value of the property by roughly 57% which is a huge deal.<\/p>\n

Your inability to decide on a proper home upgrade could lead to losses. But if you\u2019re thinking about costs that could break the bank, think again. Even a color palette alteration could already go a long, long way. Just think of it this way, your inaction could lead to maintenance and staging costs plus it could leave your house on the market longer.<\/p>\n

The Laundry Room <\/strong><\/p>\n

This may be the last room that you have in mind when it comes to remodeling projects but 92% of home buyers need a room where they can stack the clean laundry. The laundry room topped the most-wanted home features on the NAHB or National Association of Home Builders\u2019 list.<\/p>\n

The basement is often the least costly space to put it plus, more often than not, the utility lines are already set up there.<\/p>\n

Just as important as the indoor appeal is, the outdoors must be aesthetically pleasing to look at. Featured here is the Hooker Furniture Living Room Melange Flowered Drum Table which you can also use as a patio decorative piece.<\/p><\/div>\n
The Kitchen <\/strong><\/p>\n
How many house flipping shows have you seen on TV? Don\u2019t the houses that have the loveliest kitchens sell like hotcakes? If you want the best for the heart of your home, then install some quartz countertops. These are now believed to even be more popular than marble.<\/p>\n
Hardwood Flooring <\/strong><\/p>\n
While a great-looking wall-to-wall carpet is awesome, nothing can make a home look especially elegant than hardwood floors. Compared to other flooring materials, hardwood can last for decades and is much easier to clean than carpets.<\/p>\n
Wood flooring is also more hygienic than carpeting. They are cleaner and much easier to maintain. Just imagine the unpleasant odors that can come from carpets and you\u2019d realize why wood beats it hands down.<\/p>\n
Sellers who are on a budget could consider engineered wood. These are hardwood veneers that are wrapped in layers of fiberboard, plywood, and hardwood.<\/p>\n
The Tub<\/strong><\/p>\n
This is a luxurious added feature inside a spa-like bathroom. As much as you can, add a soaking tub since these are deeper, more modern-looking, and they tend to be more relaxing.<\/p>\n
Bay Windows <\/strong><\/p>\n
One look at this type of window and you\u2019d want to get inside the house. These windows don\u2019t just look great they\u2019re also going to help in saving energy because they let in natural light. About 90% of buyers look for energy efficient features.<\/p>\n
Energy efficient windows such as a bay window can cut heating and cooling costs by about 12%. Don\u2019t worry about aesthetics because even Energy-Star rated windows come with invisible glass coating and improved frames. Value-wise, these windows enhance the curb appeal so that\u2019s another win for a homeowner who wants to sell his property soon.<\/p>\n
Outdoor Lighting <\/strong><\/p>\n
Illumination is an important aspect of marketing a home. Properly-lit manicured lawn with ample exterior lighting are just the right things that will catch buyers\u2019 attention. Add walkway lights, spotlight, and pendant lights to add to the security and aesthetics of your home.<\/p>\n
A Patio <\/strong><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t ever make the mistake of neglecting the backyard when you\u2019re selling your property because about 87% of home buyers are looking for a lovely patio. These days, this outdoor part of a home has become one of the most sought-after features of homes.<\/p>\n
People tend to envision themselves resting in their backyard and enjoying some barbecue, hotdogs, and burgers with their family.<\/p>\n
Garage Storage <\/strong><\/p>\n
About 86% of home buyers look for a storage space within the garage since this is easier to get to than the backyard shed or the attic. Be sure to organize the cabinets and racks in a way that the items they hold are easily accessible.<\/p>\n
