3 Low-Cost Ways to Boost Your Home’s Appeal Before Listing

When you are getting ready to list your home, you might be looking at ways to ensure you get the full asking price and sell quickly - but the budget for big projects might not be there. This is where our three low-cost, high-impact projects come in. All they require is a bit of elbow grease and a small budget.

Project One - Declutter

Want to make spaces feel bigger and brighter? Declutter! Get ahead of the packing by stowing away any items you don't need or use daily. You want potential buyers to feel like they could live in a space and not like they are intruding on yours. Once you have done this, deep clean your home from floor to ceiling. The bonus is that your home will be show-house ready no matter what!

Project Two - Green it up

Bring in some plants - green plants in a space signify that a home has natural light and buyers are looking for light, airy spaces. Scatter smaller plants on shelves, bookcases and coffee tables. If your budget allows for a bigger plant, invest in one that can breathe life into a living room corner. You want to add texture and layers throughout the space.

Project Three - Spray it

A can of spray paint can add unexpected magic. Are your kitchen and bathroom fittings looking a little worse for wear? A can of spray paint specifically for metal surfaces can help you brighten up and restore handles and knobs instantly.
