Some of the above features might have a high cost associated with them. Not to worry- many small fixes and features can boost a home’s look. For instance, add power outlets to any rooms that might be missing them, or replace popcorn ceilings with more modern day styles. Fresh painting also goes a long way. A good tip is to first paint exterior portions of a home, and then move to the interior. Paint any walls that look dingy or blotchy, gutters, downspouts, exterior windows, doorways, and trim. Landscaping can add 7-15% to a home’s value; therefore pay attention to what your home says. This does not mean you have to have a beautiful garden, but raking up leaves, eliminating dead plants, trimming overgrown branches, and pulling up weeds goes a long way. Doorknobs also say quite a bit about a home. Replace any corroded or dented ones. Good luck!
