Instantly Add Value to Your Home with These 5 "Swaps"
In a slower market, buyers are choosy, these simple, high-impact swaps will help your home stand out and can boost your perceived value by thousands of dollars! |

1) Swap old carpet for LVP or engineered hardwood Modern flooring changes the entire feel of a home and makes listing photos pop. This is the most expensive swap but will give a huge ROI!
2) Swap outdated light fixtures for newer modern fixtures This will instantly make your home feel more current and buyers will notice. This is a fairly easy "weekend job."
3) Swap old painted walls with fresh neutral tones Warm, modern neutrals (like greige or creamy white) will make a room look larger, cleaner and move-in ready. This is one of the most common "swaps" I have sellers do for instant ROI. I love picking out paint swatches so never hesitate to send me a quick text for help on choosing paint colors!
4) Swap basic "builder grade" kitchen hardware for updated handles & pulls This is one of the cheapest upgrades with a huge visual impact. This will instantly make a kitchen feel updated without an expensive renovation.
5) Swap your faded front door & handle with fresh paint and a new door handle and kick plate. First impressions are everything. A bold, fresh front door adds curb appeal and buyer confidence in the home's upkeep. |
