Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to sell your property. The
warmer weather and blooming flowers create a beautiful setting that can entice potential buyers.
However, before putting your property on the market, it’s essential to ensure that your property
looks its best.
Here are five ways you can add value and get several buyers competing for your Inner West
property when it comes on the market.
Highlight Your Best Features
Feature painting of cornices and period features will enhance the character in your old home. By choosing the right colour scheme and texture, you can create a balance between modernity and history. Choosing the right colour and finish is vital as it can greatly affect the value of your property.
Neutral colours are safe options that appeal to most buyers, while bold colours can add character and uniqueness to your property. Paintspot Footscray and Wattyl Paint have a wide range of products and can provide a selection of this year’s trends and colours, plus expert advice to get the look you are after.
Enhance Alfresco Dining Areas
Alfresco decks are outdoor living spaces that can transform your backyard into a functional and appealing area. They provide a space for entertainment, relaxation, and dining, which is perfect to enhance your Inner West Melbourne property in spring or summer. Installing or renovating an alfresco deck is an excellent investment as it improves your property’s overall aesthetic appeal and functionality, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Make sure to keep your stained deck well-maintained to ensure that it remains in excellent condition for the duration of your ownership. It should be cleaned and restained prior to listing your property. Mitre-10 West Footscray has a range of cleaning and staining products here.
Create an Office or Study Nook
With many people working remotely or starting their own businesses, a home office can greatly increase your property’s value. A well-designed and functional home office can be an attractive feature for potential buyers and can help distinguish your property from others. Make sure to choose a space with ample lighting and electrical outlets and consider adding features like built-in shelving and a comfortable chair to make the space more appealing.
Adding Storage Options
Creating hidden storage and additional shelving in your kitchens, bathrooms and laundry can make your home very appealing to families. If you have roof storage, consider installing a pull down ladder to help improve access to this area.
If you have a bay window, you may have space for a window seat box, which is cleverly designed to add atmosphere and allow you to store items away from view.
Stage Your Property
By drawing attention to the best features in your home, you can ensure the main rooms are memorable and flaws are minimised. Clever staging can create distinct living,dining and relaxation zones, which add tens of thousands to your property price at the time of sale. Melbourne Property Stylists are located in Maidstone and have several tips on their blog.
