Selling a home can be quite the process if you are new or overwhelmed with the new responsibilities you feel that you have. You can even be stressed out about the fact that your home isn’t selling quite as quickly as you thought that it would. If you find yourself in the latter category, here are three very easy budget friendly ideas, fixes, and tips to help you boost the curb appeal of the home you are trying to sell.

Touch Up The Door

The doors in your home may not seem like much to you because you have seen them over and over again every day for however many days you have lived in the home. Potential buyers are seeing everything with fresh eyes for the first time. They will focus on the discoloration at the bottom of your child’s previous bedroom from your constant washing marker off of it or the claw marks from your cat on the inside of the door frame in your entryway. These details, however small, actually do matter. You can take a short trip to your local hardware store or general store, find a discounted can of stain or wood paint, and completely transform the doors in your house. If you are feeling fancy, you could even add a decorative wreath to the front door to make the new paint or stain pop out from the road.

Focus On The Little Things

The little things truly do matter when you are trying to boost the curb appeal of your house. The photos that are listed online, with agents, and in booklets are what really give potential buyers a reason to come and see your home in person. If the first thing that the see is a very obviously broken electrical outlet cover, then they may just assume that your entire house has never been taken care of. That may seem extreme, but it happens more often that you would assume. Here are a few little things that you can repair, replace, or include to help boost the curb appeal of your home: ensure that all light covers and electrical outlet covers are unbroken and clean, replace any broken trim along walls and in doorways, and clean the grout and debris out of bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles, and other small crevices.

Paint The Walls

The walls in most of the rooms of your house will be perfectly fine in whatever color they currently have on them, unless they look dirty, dingy, or dull. Any room with paint that is boring or draws negative attention could potentially be given a makeover with a new coat of paint. The rooms you should focus on if you are on a truly limited budget are the bathroom and the kitchen. These rooms should appear bright, welcoming, and clean to your potential buyers. You could purchase one gallon of paint, or more, with a primer and light shade of color and redo one or both of these rooms rather easily without breaking the bank. If you leave these rooms feeling bright and sanitary than the paint has done its best work.

Take Home Advice

You don’t have to let your home sit as it is while you wait for the next potential buyer to visit. You can actively make changes, no matter what your budget is, to help improve the curb appeal of your home. Some of the greatest minds say that proactivity is the key to getting anything done the right way.
