Features That Will Help Your Home Sell

Selling a Boulder house can sometimes require a little extra work. Ideally, you want to spice up your home without overdoing it. Some homeowners are hesitant to upgrade because they are worried that they might not be able to recoup their investment. The truth is, some home improvement projects will increase the odds of getting your Boulder home sold quickly while potentially adding value to your home.

If you want to impress potential buyers, you might have an advantage over the pack if it includes the features listed below. These features, coupled with an attractive price, will generate interest and sell your house faster.

Consider implementing a vegetable garden

Boulder is well known for healthy and sustainable eating options. Organic foods are wildly preferred, but they are also costly. To combat that cost, many grow their own produce. Growing Gardens is just one of many community garden organizations in Boulder, and they alone manage 400 community garden plots.

They also offer online and in person gardening classes!

Many Boulder buyers would love to have a vegetable garden in their home, where they can eat homegrown produce all year round. Start your own vegetable garden. You, your family and future homeowners will benefit from it.

Plus it will help your home's curb appeal!

Get organized

Organize and pack your non-essentials. It may seem preemptive to start packing, but decluttering your home is key to to a quick and successful sale. That linen closet full of old sheets and blankets, or that stored tub of art supplies for your future DIY projects can probably be packed and put aside for the time being.

It makes a significant difference to potential buyers and their ability to see themselves living in your home. Better yet, purge some items, post them to Facebook Marketplace or NextDoor, and arrange for a porch pickup. This ensures social distancing and maybe you'll make some extra cash.

Stainless steel appliances are still a hit

If you were to ask potential buyers what type of appliances they want for their new home, you are likely to get a resounding answer of stainless steel. While some people think that their charm among buyers is waning, a 2019 HomeLight survey among agents states that 75% reported stainless steel as the most in-demand appliance material for buyers.

When looking to upgrade your hardware or appliances in the kitchen, opt for stainless steel. Not only will it make your kitchen look luxurious, it will also help your home sell faster when the time comes.

Clean and Repair

A deep clean and a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your home's visual appeal to buyers. Rent a carpet cleaner, polish your appliances, and replace any burnt out bulbs. Fix torn screens and replace broken windows. It will be a smoother sale if your home repairs are completed prior to going under contract.
