If you’re renovating your home, there are certain areas that will earn a better return on investment compared to others. Whether you’re selling this year or not, here are some critical home improvement tips.
If you’re painting your home, go with a soft gray that has a hint of beige. Balboa Mist by Benjamin Moore is the kind of color buyers are looking for. Benjamin Moore is a more expensive paint, but you can definitely find a similar color in a lower price point. Balboa Mist is extremely popular among the big builders in town, which means it’s also popular with buyers.
You should also change out your old, one-inch baseboards. Replace them with a flat, four-inch baseboard. A white baseboard accentuates those soft gray colors.
Finally, many sellers are removing old, beat up carpets. Although this sounds like a good idea initially, they replace that with new carpet, which many buyers might not be interested in. You can install a very nice wood vinyl or laminate for about the same cost as a new carpet. You’re spending the money already, and buyers prefer that type of flooring.
If you are planning on staying your home for a long time and you prefer carpet, then go ahead and invest in a new carpet. However, if you’re thinking about selling in the next year or two, you need to pay attention to what buyers want.
