Three Top Ways To Upgrade Your Home For Sale

Depending on what part of the Nanaimo home selling market that you are in, you may find that there are more people trying to sell their home at the same time as you are. If you're in a competitive selling market, upgrading your home can make it more attractive to prospective buyers, separate your house from the competition, and make the difference between selling fast or languishing on the market for months. An upgraded kitchen is the #1 thing that most buyers look for.  Kitchens with older, laminated counter tops, dated cabinetry or original appliances will turn most buyers off.  Because kitchens nowadays tend to be the family focal point, today's buyer look for an attractive kitchen with an open feel.  Bright lighting, glass cabinet doors or open cabinets, and stainless appliances will go a long way toward making buyers fall in love with your home. Bathrooms are the #2 upgrade that buyers in today's market look for.  If your baths have old-looking ceramic tile, dated fixtures and tired lighting you will automatically lose a lot of buyers.  If you can't afford to replace old ceramic tile, consider having the shower or tub professionally re-grouted and re-surfaced. Doing this, combined with updating the toilet and installing new faucet and bath fixtures and towel bars will make your bathrooms look much, much newer. Lastly, if your roof, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning or furnace systems are nearing the end of their useful lives, upgrading these where needed will make your home the one that buyers will choose.  While these systems are not as visible as the kitchen or bathrooms, any defects in them will be found by a home inspector.  Many times a deal will fall through if problems are found because buyer will be worried about other 'hidden' problems they might end up with if they buy your home.
