It’s important to understand what your targeted buyers are looking for. No matter the demographic or life stage, people want an updated kitchen and bathrooms. Most of your renovation budget will go there, but it doesn’t have to cost as much as you think. Whether your property is on the lower end of the market or in an area with the highest price per square foot, it’s important to maximize every dollar spent.
The most cost effective way to change a room is with paint. Color has power; it changes the mood of the room and of the buyer. You want to invoke emotion when people are walking through your open house. Think of your least favorite color, now picture walking into a kitchen with that color on the cabinets. You’re going to turn around and run! Now picture your favorite color, and imagine you walk into a primary bedroom with that color on the walls. You’re going to want to lay down and stay a while.
Other inexpensive ways to alter the decade and vibe of a room is with lighting. You can purchase a high impact light fixture for a couple hundred bucks, and it will transform a space.
An important thing to keep in mind when trying to invoke a positive emotion in your buyer is curb appeal. You need them to be interested enough to even park the car and come in. Can you see the front door or do you need to remove those overgrown trees? Is your front door peeling-give it a light sand and a fresh coat of paint. Again, an opportunity to give it character by picking the right color.
