As the market begins to shift with rising interest rates homeowners need to prepare their home for market in order to net the most and stand out. Homeowners who make improvements before listing their home sell 30% faster than those that don’t, and there are a handful of improvements that can increase sale speed exponentially.
It most likely comes as no surprise that the top five improvements that buyers love are located in the kitchen and bathroom. These two rooms have long been the apple of many buyers’ eyes and can easily leave a lasting impression when viewing a home.
With the average spend amongst a wide range of upgrades at just $1,349 in the kitchen and $866 in the bathroom, getting a home show-ready doesn’t have to break the bank, to increase its marketability.
The analysis also found homeowners who had two or more improvements completed on their home sold nearly 40% faster (in an average of six days) than those who only made one improvement. These additional improvements can be as minor as a fresh coat of paint, updating fixtures like lights, faucets, and knobs, or simply power washing the exterior of your home.
