Welcome to this week’s JHT Market Update.

When it comes to putting your home up for sale, the prospect of updating your home can be daunting.

Thankfully, you don’t have to spend months doing major remodeling to sell your home for the price you want.

Small interior improvements and boosted curb appeal of your home can translate into a higher sales price.

Here are the top 5 improvements to help attract potential buyers:

A nice coat of neutral paint creates a blank canvas for buyers to envision themselves in.
Maintaining & Sprucing up your homes landscape – since a home’s exterior needs to make a prospective buyer want to walk through the front door.
Replacing or repairing flooring is a great way to create a seamless feel throughout your home, and it looks great too.
A mid-range bathroom update may cost more, yet provides a great return. A few simple upgrades to your existing bathroom can take years off.
Upgrading your lighting can make a large impact on your space, remembering to keep colors consistent with your home’s hardware.

Each of these low-cost improvements have the potential to change your buyers perception of your home and raise its value. While these may take more time, it’s important to sell your home right!
