Selling your house is a major undertaking, but with the right preparation, you can find a buyer relatively quickly and get a good price for your home. Improve your home’s appeal and resale value with targeted home remodeling projects. The following improvements can have a surprisingly big impact on your ability to sell your home.

Top 3 Home Remodeling Projects for Selling Your Home

1. Address Visible Exterior Repair Issues

Start the sales preparation process by checking your home exterior for obvious defects. Broken siding, missing shingles, or unkempt landscaping will make a negative impression on buyers before they even enter your house.

You’ll also benefit from replacing worn doors or windows or outdated light fixtures. The better the house looks from the outside, the more likely buyers will want to see how it looks inside.

2. Repaint the Walls

Repainting interior walls is a cost-effective way to refresh your home interior. Light, neutral colors, such as off-white, will create an inviting atmosphere that works well with any decor style. For added impact, you could repaint the ceilings as well. Repainting also allows you to identify and repair any damage to the drywall.

3. Update the Flooring

Your flooring gets a lot of use over the years, which can cause it to wear down. Before selling, update the flooring in high-traffic areas of the home. Replace worn carpet, refinish hardwood floors, or upgrade from laminate to luxury vinyl plank or tile. Focus on the kitchen and living room first, which tend to get the most attention from potential buyers, then address any other areas where the flooring could be improved.
