For those who are just about ready to list their Nutley house for
sale this April, several simple yet cost-effective projects can be
sure-fire buyer-pleasers. I am often asked to help my clients identify
areas in their home that will benefit from improvements. I like to point
to some simple changes that materially help a property’s ability to
compete with any other house for sale in the Nutley area.
Here are three of my favorite inexpensive fixes:
1. Painting walls in pale neutral colors. Freshly
painted walls erase years of wear from any room. They send prospective
buyers a subtle message: here is a home where your family can create
your own memories. Neutral tones are important, too. While you may
personally prefer rich or bright colors, potential buyers may not.
Beyond ensuring that rooms look as big, bright and airy as possible, you
want potential buyers to picture spaces where their furnishings will
fit in without redecorating. Pale beige or grey rooms work with
furnishings of all colors, and wind up appealing to the greatest number
of potential buyers.
2. Clearing clutter. Clear kitchen and bathroom
countertops, consign heavy furniture to storage, and stow the kids’ toys
neatly out of sight. The object is to emphasize the impression of
sufficient space. When buyers visit any house for sale, they are most
drawn to those where it’s easy to picture all of their belongings
fitting in easily – and that takes space.
3. Keeping your cool. You want buyers to be
comfortable as they walk through your house for sale, and at the same
time want to signal that heating and cooling are not going to be
problematic. Have your heating and air conditioning systems serviced so
that they are in efficient working order. If you have a working
fireplace, have the chimney swept, and light the fire in case we run
into an unexpected chilly rainy day during a springtime open house. If
the weather cooperates and the sun is shining, open windows and doors to
create a nice fresh breeze. But if it’s too hot, be willing to crank up
the AC!
Whenever you list a house for sale, it’s important that you put
yourself in the buyers’ shoes. Ask what are the key factors you would
look for, and be sure your home reflects the answers. For any and all
other questions you might have about selling your Nutley home, I’m here
