If you’re thinking about selling your home, you might be wondering how to get the best return on your investment without breaking the bank. Here are three effective and budget-friendly tips we use when listing homes to help you prepare your home for sale, all under $2500.

#1 Enhance Curb Appeal:

$500 – $1000

The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, so making a great first impression is crucial.

• Landscaping: Trim overgrown bushes, mow the lawn, plant seasonal flowers, and add mulch to garden beds. ($200 – $500)

• Exterior Cleaning: Pressure wash the driveway, walkways, and siding. Clean windows and doors. ($100 – $300)

• Fresh Paint: Repaint or touch up the front door, shutters, and trim for a fresh, inviting look. ($100 – $200)

#2 Declutter and Deep Clean:

$200 – $500

A clean, clutter-free home appears more spacious and well-maintained, which can significantly increase its appeal.

• Declutter: Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes the space look crowded. Consider renting a storage unit if needed. ($50 – $200)

• Deep Cleaning: Hire professional cleaners to deep clean the entire home, including carpets, windows, and appliances. ($150 – $300)

• Organize: Neatly organize closets and storage spaces to show their full potential. ($0 if done yourself)

#3 Minor Repairs and Updates:

$1000 – $1500

Making small but impactful repairs and updates can greatly improve the overall impression of your home.

• Kitchen and Bathrooms: Replace outdated fixtures, faucets, and cabinet hardware. Touch up grout and caulking as needed. ($200 – $500)

• Lighting: Update lighting fixtures and add Daylight bulbs to make rooms feel larger and more inviting. ($100 – $300)

• Paint: Apply a fresh coat of neutral-colored paint to walls and ceilings to make the space feel clean and modern. ($500 – $1000)

By focusing on these three areas, you can make your home more appealing to buyers and potentially increase your return on investment, all while staying within a $2500 budget.
