Get Top Dollar for your Fredericksburg Texas home

Feb 08, 2010

For the short term, simple touches that improve the appearance of your Fredericksburg home can help it sell faster.

Repaint wall and replace carpeting. Updating the look will give the home a feeling of newness and smelling new and fresh will help the potential buyer envision the home as their own.

Improve the front yard.  First impressions greatly impact whether a buyer will stop and take a longer look.  Freshen the landscaping in the front yard and remove clutter.  Make the approach to your home inviting and improve the odds that a buyer will take the bait and come inside.

imageScrub the house.  Clean all surfaces, dust and pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms.  The amount of cleanliness is a huge impression maker.  Put away clutter and store away things to make the home as open a spacious as possible.

 

If you are not planning to sell right away, you might consider the following improvements.

Enlarge the square footage.  Carefully considered, appraisers say, adding the right square footage can make a home more salable.  Finishing out a garage, pushing out a wall in a small room or enclosing a porch are possible options for lower cost changes.

Pool or no Pool?  Think carefully about adding a pool.  Many potential buyers see it as bothersome upkeep and families may see it as a danger to their children or grandchildren.
