We get asked all the time, "Your house is so beautiful are you ever going to move?" Well, that’s a hard question to answer given that we love our home, but also want to move closer to a bunch of things we feel sort of far from, here in the valley.
Usually though, we respond with, "We would love to move, if we could pick our house up and move it with us!" :)
Along with that question, we also get asked all the time about the things that we think would be most impactful to help boost the sales of other peoples homes. Every home, area and neighborhood is different; you can check out
Homes.com for a great resource to see what the home values in your area are like right now; but for the most part, there are a handful of helpful tips that you can use, just to kick up the value and sellability factor of your home, that much more.
KITCHEN
For us, when we look at homes, the first thing we check out is the kitchen. If the kitchen doesn't at least have decent structure, layout and a good overall design, there is no sense at looking further... and I know we aren't alone. So think about YOUR kitchen. Does it need a facelift? Well if it does, don't get overwhelmed by this undertaking, think about the small things that can give you a great look for less.
Matching Appliances: It’s not pleasing to the eye to walk into a kitchen and see a white fridge, black dishwasher and a stainless steel range. In some instances to save a few bucks, consider seeing if you can reface your appliances. Many times you don't need to replace the entire unit, work with the manufacturer’s and see if they have a different faceplate that would match your other appliances.
Kitchen Faucet: Change out your faucet for something that would help sell your kitchen. Look into gooseneck faucets, touch faucets and more statement-type pieces. Spend a little more money here and you can create a big impact.
