Selling your Home? Take a look at the best home improvement tips to get you top dollar for your home in 2022

Experienced REALTORS® Renae Trichell and Connie Sims come together and share their top tips and best home improvements to make the most impact on your sale. The real estate market is booming in the Pikes Peak Region, and prices are holding steady. Today, we share how to get the most for your home with the least amount of effort and money.

Deferred Maintenance

One of the biggest mistakes that we see sellers make is to hold off on the maintenance of their home when trying to sell. Buyers are currently purchasing homes at the top value and are looking to have a home in the best condition possible. Our first tip is to tackle those deferred maintenance projects you have been putting off because inspection will find them, and the problems will need to be remedied in the future.

  • Landscaping
  • Gutters
  • Paint both interior and exterior 
  • Patios and decks
  • HVAC
  • Sump pump
  • Chimney
  • Windows and doors

Inspection Items

To make the transaction go as smoothly as possible and allow buyers to envision themselves in your home you need to take care of inspection items before putting your home on the market. A solid and clean home inspection with give both you and the buyer peace of mind and make this stressful recess much easier in the long run. Listed below are some of the most common inspection items that come up.

  • Roof
  • Electrical
  • Insulation and ventilation 
  • Plumbing

Upgrades and Improvements

You may want to spruce up your home if you plan to put it on the market but wait before spending those hard-earned dollars. We have found with this solid market that buyers are looking to have a clean slate to start with and want to customize their home to fit their needs. It is tempting to add a colorful paint palette or complete a bathroom update, but we have found these do not get you the best return on investment unless your home is damaged or faulty. Stick to just replacing any outdated or dingy pieces and possibly painting with neutrals and leave the rest to the new buyers; they may thank you with a larger offer.
