Answers - Save The Money – Sell The House - 10 Inexpensive Things To Help You Sell The Indoors
If you’re ready to put your home on the market, it’s time to look at the inside of your home with a critical eye. The good news is that there are many very simple, inexpensive projects you can do that will greatly improve a buyer’s opinion of your home.
Several popular TV shows now focus on improving the interior appearance of homes in order to increase their market value or appeal. Often, properties showcased on this program undergo amazing visual transformations through very small changes. We can use this attitude – more for less – to improve the appearance of your home a

Always remember our motto – more for less. We want to focus on small, inexpensive changes that impact the VISUAL appearance of your home. Wiring the home for high speed internet (things that will not be seen by visiting buyers or only used in situational circumstances) or spending big bucks for major improvements, like adding granite countertops, will surprisingly yield less than you think.

a home simply because the carpet was overly dirty. You can prevent negative appearance or outright rejection by making sure your floors look their best. If you have carpets, rent a steam cleaner for the weekend and put it to use. They are rather inexpensive and can really rejuvenate carpets, especially older carpets. If you have laminate or hardwood, use a floor cleaner and when it dries, a no-slip floor polish. Make sure you do this in advance of any showings or open houses – you don’t want the house to smell like the cleaning isle of your grocery store. Speaking of which…

2. Destroy Offensive Odors
This one’s tough to judge. Often, we get so used to the smell of our own homes, we can’t be objective anymore. Enlist the help of a friend (your REALTOR is a good choice) who you’re sure will give you an honest evaluation. Here are some common sources of home odors and ways to combat them: Pets: keep the litter box/bird cage/pet areas spotlessly clean. If you have a room that pets frequent, it might be a good candidate for some potpourri or a non-offensive air freshener. Febreeze is a great odor masker – if you have pets (especially dogs) that c

Food Odors: certain types of cooking can really add strong scents to your home. Make sure you keep your kitchen very clean – get rid of any grease that might have collected on your stove, hood, floors or cabinets (check up top too). Get an oven cleaner and wipe out the inside of your oven. Also, make sure any kitchen trash is disposed of promptly. Finally, if you know visitors are coming soon, refrain from cooking anything with powerful odors – ta

Musty Smells: Often the harbinger of water problems that should be checked out, a musty smell is a big turn-off for a buyer. Certain places tend to collect this odor – basements, lower bedrooms, rec. rooms off of walk-in basements, attics or sun rooms. You can try to reduce this by using a de-humidifier regularly (if you own one) in the problem location for a few weeks before any showing. Carpets often collect this odor – make sure you steam clean them (see above). Also, this might be a good can

Just a couple tips on air fresheners: less is more. Make sure you don’t overpower your buyers with air fresheners. This often raises their suspicion that something is being covered up even if there is no real reason for them to be suspicious. Try to use non-offensive odors – lavender, chamomile, light citrus – heavy scents like pine, rose or heavy citrus can be a real turn-off. There is also a good option that I’ll discuss in my last tip of this guide.

Just a few minutes with some spackle, a bit of light sanding and a couple dabs of touch-up paint can repair that hole in the wall from when you bumped it moving furniture, those expansion cracks, nail pops or other wall blemishes, even if you have no repair skills. It just has to look decent, not perfect. Stick down any drywall tape that’s peeling with some spackle and touch up – it tends to be rather unsightly and is easy to notice. Oh, and….

5. Remove Personal Touches
You want your buyers to identify with your home – to see themselves living there. One thing that distracts from this is seeing a picture of your family every time they turn around. I know it might be sad to see all the pictures come down, but it needs to happen. Just think of this as part of the packing process. It’s also a good time to take all of the homework, pictures and drawings that your children have done off of the fridge or walls.

Even a little can go a long way here.

There are a few easy things you can do and a few more difficult things – the good news is that all of them don’t cost much. One of the biggest transformations that happens on those TV home makeover shows occurs when furniture is rearranged to create the impression of more space. Take a critical look at each room in your house – if you have the time, move the furniture around a bit – see if one position is more spacious than another.

great idea because not only will it make the house feel more open, but it will give you a jump on packing. I would suggest moving the furniture completely out of the house – perhaps rent an offsite storage area or if this isn’t possible, store all removed items neatly on one side of the garage. Some buyers don’t even look in the garage and if they do, better to have one room full of stuff than the entire home. The final thing is to leave all of the curtains pulled back – this makes a room look more “breezy” and the additional natural light is always a plus.

This is a very useful selling tactic, so you really can’t get away with not doing it.

Freshly baked cookie smell is like expensive perfume to home buyers.
- Offer cookies (works out well with the above), or in the summer, cold bottled water. Buyers like these personal touches and they will subconsciously raise their opinions of your home.
- Open all the curtains and turn on all the lights – you want your home to feel breezy, bright and open. Change any bulbs that are out. If it’s winter and you have one, light the fireplace.

- This one is vital: remove any small valuables from sight. I’d like to think that all home buyers are always on their best behaviors, but sometimes this isn’t the case – better to be safe than sorry.
