5 Tips to Help Increase Your Tampa Home Value
Selling a home in Tampa can be a process. But if you’re planning on trying to sell your Tampa home in the future, there are a number of projects both big and small that you can do to both up your home’s value, and to make it more attractive to possible buyers.
Here are some of the most effective ways to up your Tampa home resale value.
Lay Down New Flooring
“New flooring” is one of the most commonly seen features on listings for a good reason. No matter what style of floors they are, from wood to laminate to carpet, new flooring improves walkthrough appeal and can help a home sell quickly.
If you’re trying to add some interest to your home listing, try installing some cheaper berber carpet or vinyl flooring that will make a big impression without breaking the bank. If you’re comfortable in your home at the moment but you know that you’ll sell it down the road, think about putting in hardwood floors or natural tile, which will last for years on end but can make a big impact on your home’s value.
Rethink Your Lighting
When talking about lighting, most home sellers start thinking about light fixtures. While putting in versatile or trendy light fixtures like track lighting or responsive LED lighting is a good plan, remember to pay attention to how you can manipulate natural light in your home.
Making use of natural light can make your space seem more spacious, brighter, and more livable. Besides, potential buyers are more likely to walk through your house during the day, when natural light will be more important than light fixtures.
Try putting in window treatments that let your windows get the most out of natural light. Plantation shutters in Tampa are a great choice, as they give you a lot of freedom in the angle that sunlight comes through your windows.
Fix Smaller Details
Installing brand-new appliances, cabinets and drawers, and other big projects can help a listing catch more eyes, but you can get your money to go farther by focusing on your home’s small details.
Swap out the faucets in your bathroom and kitchen. Install new handles and knobs for your drawers and cabinetry. Restain your staircase banister and handrails. Replace the floor and ceiling vent covers. Any of these smaller fixes can make a big visual impact at a fraction of the cost of bigger projects.
Show Off More Storage Space
“Space” is the main word here. All the closets, number of rooms, and square footage in the world won’t please potential buyers if they’re full and cluttered with your belongings.
Organize your closets with space-saving racks, empty out rooms leaving only the bare necessities, and store extra furniture or belongings into a temporary storage unit or into your new home.
Control The Temperature
If possible buyers are too hot or cold while touring your home, they probably won’t remember it fondly when making a decision. The simplest way to make guests comfortable is to crank your thermostat – don’t be afraid to make your AC put in work during the summer or the heater in winter.
You can decrease the stress on yourself and your A/C and heater by better insulating your home. An insulating window treatment like Polywood® plantation shutters will help reduce heat transfer through your windows by up to 50%, making the temperature in your home much easier to control.
