The Brevard County, FL housing market is in the midst of an upswing at the moment. Did you know that we experience somewhat of a selling slump during the summer months? According to Realtor Gibbs Baum with Treasure Coast Sotheby’s International Realty, we will see an influx of new listings during this particular season due to the arrival of snowbirds and others who enjoy the seasonal weather that Melbourne and the surrounding areas enjoy. If you are considering listing, now could be a great time. Once you do so, be sure to contact A Mother’s Touch Movers in Melbourne, FL. We are your one-stop shop for all types of moving services. From accessories to full service moving options, we have you covered from start to finish.
We love providing our customers with the latest information to assist them in their residential moves. We want to see you satisfied not only with your moving services but with the amount of revenue you accrue from the sale of your home. To get more for selling their homes, many people invest in updates to make the value go up. One thing to keep in mind before you start updating your home is that not all home improvements will add value to your home. Some things, however, simply must be taken care of before you can sell. You don’t have to break the bank in order to get a great return on all your hard work. Below are some great tips for updating your existing home to make sure that you see a great return on your investment.
Paint
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders to your property. Whether you update the outside or go for refreshing neutrals on the inside, paint is a rather inexpensive way to spruce up your home.
Freshen Up Your Kitchen
According to Bankrate.com, the kitchen is usually the first stop for many homebuyers. Does your say, “Come cook here?” If not, you may need to consider putting some cash into this area of your home. Make sure your appliances match if possible and if you are still using formica, it’s time to make a switch.
Revamp the Bathroom
Bathrooms are the next stop on the list. Do the bathrooms in your home scream REMODELED? You don’t have to install the latest in granite counter-tops or top of the line tile in order to see add value to your home. Consider simple ways to freshen up the powder room and watch the buyers line up.
Plants
Curb appeal speaks volumes! You could have the most amazing interior space but with a lacking outside appeal, buyers will just cruise on by. If you can afford the assistance of a great landscaper, go for it. If not, go to your local nursery and find high quality shrubs and florals that will make your yard shine. Keep in mind that native plants do well here and low maintenance greenery is never a bad thing.
Don’t Eat the Popcorn
Not literally, we love popcorn – just not on the ceiling. Many older Florida homes still have popcorn ceilings and if yours is one of them, perhaps now is the time to make the switch to something more contemporary.
There truly is a lot you can do to add value to your home, even on a budget. Don’t let upgrades scare you away from a great sell. If you do sell your home, keep A Mother’s Touch Movers in mind when it’s time to relocate!
