How to Keep Your Home's
Value Up in a Changing Market

home selling articles and tips

 

If you own a home, it's reasonable to think you will consider selling at some point down the road. It's better to keep your home’s value up as time goes on instead of attempting to make all of the necessary repairs and changes in a lump action towards the end of your ownership. These are some of the ways by which you can keep your home's value up in an ever-changing housing market.

Always Clean Your Home Diligently

It makes sense to always keep a clean home and enjoy the profits later, right? If you allow dirt and dust to build up on carpets or behind the fridge, it will likely become incredibly hard to remove the accumulated grime after some time has passed. Keep your home as clean as possible at all times to reduce how hard you have to work to clean it for showings in the future.

Keep Your Kitchen Appliances Up to Date

One of the big things that buyers are looking for when searching for the right home is that "perfect kitchen." A lot of life's most precious moments and memories happen in kitchens, and for this reason some people consider the kitchen to be the heart and soul of the home. Whether or not your kitchen has been remodeled, the appliances you keep in it will still show its age. Keep your appliances up to date to match trends, if and whenever possible.

Invest in a Security System

Security is another factor on many buyers' minds, according to Vancouver security system expert Jane Marshall. She reports that modern buyers are increasingly looking for proof that a home isn’t easily accessible to intruders. Invest in a quality security system that will show buyers the home is well-protected. This will also demonstrate your attention to detail to potential buyers, who will be more inclined to trust your word and willing to assume ownership from such an attentive and dedicated homeowner.

Stay Up on Bathroom Trends

The bathroom sees a lot of a home's wear and tear, so it's definitely important to you keep it as up to date as possible. Keep the hardware, such as faucets, shower head and toilet fixtures, up to date. Additionally, if you can fit it into your budget, marble or granite countertops will instantly add value to a bathroom. If you can, opt for wall-mounted lighting rather than overhead to give your bathroom a warmer and more inviting tone.

Hire a Home Inspector Periodically

One of the best methods you can use to keep your home's value up is to enlist the help of a home inspector every so often. They'll keep you updated on everything that needs to be repaired or modified to get your home into a "sell-able" state. Doing this up until the point where you place your home on the market can also save you big bucks with not having to hire an inspector before you list it.
