Even in a tight real estate market, making minor improvements and repairs can dramatically boost your property’s value. While you don’t necessarily need to invest in a complete kitchen overhaul before listing your home for sale, there are a few projects that will help you get a faster sale at the highest price possible. If you’re planning on selling a home, here are a few improvements and repairs you should complete first.

3 Improvements to Make Before Selling a House

1. Repair Minor Defects

Over the years, you might have gotten used to that loose stair, and probably don’t even notice the gouged doorframe in the living room. Potential buyers, however, may see these defects as signs of neglect and decide to keep looking at other properties. Repairing minor cosmetic issues before putting your home on the market allows you to put your best foot forward so buyers can concentrate on your home’s best qualities.

2. Paint the Walls

A fresh coat of paint will breathe new life into your home, making the house feel clean and warm. Warm, neutral colors will appeal to the widest range of buyers, giving them room to imagine themselves living in your home.

3. Invest in Curb Appeal

An inviting exterior is one of the most important aspects of your home, enticing prospective buyers to get out of their cars and come inside. Trim back trees and overgrown bushes, lay down sod on thin patches of grass, and plant flowers along the walkway and beside the front door.
