Are you ready to put your home on the market? Whether you plan to move now or in the next few years, preparing your home for sale can be daunting. Some renovations can be beneficial, while others can really turn off potential buyers. The goal of home renovations should be to make it more livable for you and look move-in ready for future buyers

Not sure what to update to make your home easier to sell? A simple coat of neutral paint is a good place to start. This upgrade can be done without a huge investment of time or money.

Experts say the way to keep things timeless is to stick to simple colors like white. Even if a potential home buyer hates white, it’s the best color to paint, so it’s really helpful

Spend a weekend removing light accent walls or dark paint and buyers will be more interested in your home. Make sure the new colors still blend well with your home decor to attract even more potential buyers. What not to do: Avoid what’s trendy at the moment, like wallpaper. Trends can quickly go out of style or not be to the buyer’s taste.

The front of your home is the first thing potential buyers see. Improve your first impression by painting your front door or replacing it with a new one. A brightly colored front door will make your home more memorable. If you are not interested in a colored front door, you can also replace it with a new solid steel door or simply upgrade your old screen door to a glass version for a fresh look.

Don’t: Don’t overspend on a front door that doesn’t match the look of the home.

Bathrooms are always high on a potential buyer’s list, so investing here is one of the best ways to increase resale value. Before selling your home, consider making small updates that will excite everyone who looks at your house. Some of the best bathrooms for resale include small changes such as:

For a bigger change, buy a new tub or refinish the old one and install new floor and wall tiles. What not to do: Don’t create a luxurious bathroom. It does not provide the same return on investment as smaller projects.
Clean your home to attract buyers. Although this update may not directly increase the value of your home, the easiest way to speed up the sale is to do a thorough decluttering before putting your house on the market.
Clearing out closets and other storage areas will help your home look more spacious and make it easier for others to imagine living in your home.


One of the best home improvements before selling is to improve energy efficiency. This can be done in several ways. By heating your home or replacing old appliances with more efficient ones, you can lower your electricity bill, increase your tax return and improve resale value.
