5 Quick Home Repairs that Increase Home Values in Massachusetts

If you’re getting ready to sell your home but don’t have a lot of money to spend on staging or improvements, we have good news for you. There are some major changes that can make a big impact. Here are some quick home repairs that increase home values in Massachusetts.

1. Fresh Coat of Paint

A fresh coat of paint can dramatically impact the look and feel of a room. Light neutral colors can make a room feel more spacious and modern. At $20-$40 per can, painting is an inexpensive way to boost your home’s value. You’ll just need to spend some of your time to actually complete the painting work!

2. Remove Dated Decor

Often times, a home feels as old as the decor within it. It’s strange how that can happen. Take a brand new home and put 80’s furniture in it, and potential buyers will have a different impression than if the home had more modern furniture. Consider removing or swapping out dated furniture, curtains, and other decor within your home. By eliminating the illusion that it’s old, your home will instantly feel newer!

3. Add Lighting

Among the quick home repairs that increase home values in Massachusetts involves lighting. Dark or gloomy rooms also make a home feel old. An easy improvement to make it to add more lighting. You can do this several ways. First, remove any dark curtains. Be sure to always roll up blinds before showings. Change your light bulbs to brighter options (either by wattage or type of bulb). Lastly, add floor lamps to rooms that could use added lighting.

4. Declutter

When staging your home to sell, declutter, declutter, declutter! Clutter makes a room feel small, crowded, and rundown. Decluttering is a quick home repair that doesn’t require a lot of money,…just your time. Pack up items that you don’t need before the move. Move as much as you can into storage.

5. Clean Up

A clean home can leave a much different impression on potential buyers than a dirty one. Focus on the most visible areas of your home such as kitchens, baths, and entryways. Flooring is also an important one to remember. Spend a little time and elbow grease cleaning up and you’ll be rewarded with more interested buyers.

As you can see from the list above, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make improvements to your home. The list may seem purely cosmetic because, well, it is! But think about how visuals and impressions influence our everyday decisions. When it comes to your home, potential buyers will judge a book by its cover! So why not make that cover look a little more appealing?
