3 Cheap and Fast Fix Up Ideas for Prepping Your Home Sale

As they say, it’s the small details that matter, and to a potential homebuyer this may also be true. According to an April article on Propertywire.com, even the most outdated homes may not need costly renovations to prepare them for sale. What buyers really care about may surprise you. Here are 3 quick and inexpensive fix up ideas for any house you’re prepping for sale this year:

1.Fix up the Entryway: Zillow Agent Advisor Cyndi Lesinski says, “A clean entrance can go a long way, add fresh potted flowers to increase the life and energy of the entrance.” Another idea is to paint the front door. Popular colors are red, burgundy, cranberry, and black.

2.Stage Your house: According Mara Miller of Carrier and Company of NYC, “When staging, remove all personal belongings and avoid colors or furniture that are too style specific. Neutral colors and minimal furniture are best.”

3.Smaller, Less Expensive Updates: Chris Speicher of RE/MAX in Washington D.C. recommends updating light fixtures to something more stylish and modern, replace door handles, cabinet hardware, and perform minor updates to kitchen and bathroom such as paint, or new faucets. These items can go a long way.

According to Zillow, doing a general decluttering of your home is the most crucial thing to help open up a space and also to help potential homebuyers see themselves in the home.
