Tips to Save Money When Renovating Your Home For Sale

If you are planning on renovating your home in preparation before selling, spending your budget in the right places will give you the biggest bang for your buck and help you save money.

Here are some renovation tips:

Remodel your kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home and is one of the first things buyers will look at when viewing your house. But kitchen renovations can get costly if you do not plan wisely. Changing your cabinet doors can give your kitchen a new feel for a fraction of the cost of ripping them all out. Even changing the cabinet hardware can make a big difference. You should also consider replacing your countertops and buying new appliances.

Renovate your bathroom

When tackling a bathroom remodel on a budget, you can start by re-grouting tile and replacing worn caulking. You may want to swap out your toilet as well and get new windows and lighting fixtures.

Repaint

Painting your interior walls is one of the cheapest ways to update the look of your home. A new coat of paint can brighten dark rooms and hide imperfections to make your home feel clean and fresh.

Change flooring

If you choose to lay new hardwood floors, you could sell your home for up to 2.5% more, real estate experts say. If you do not have the money to replace all the flooring, spend in the areas most used—the kitchen, living room and dining areas. You can then opt for carpet in the bedrooms to save on costs.

Spruce up the exterior

More buyers will want to view your house if it has curb appeal. To enhance curb appeal, you may repaint exterior walls, install a new front door or swap old windows for new ones. If your roofing system is at the end of its lifespan, you may also want to replace it before you sell.

Improve energy efficiency

While your first thought will be to improve the look of your home, you should not neglect to improve energy efficiency as well. Surveys have revealed that homeowners that improve energy efficiency can recoup over 100% of the cost of the upgrades when their home sells. To improve energy efficiency, you should consider updating your HVAC systems, water heaters and windows.

Observe the market

Before you start renovating, it is wise to observe market trends in your area. Consult a local realtor for insights on buyers’ expectations and advice on what home renovation projects will yield the highest returns.
