If
you are considering selling your current home in the new year, there are
several design features that are huge "turn offs" for the average
looking home buyer.
What
are they?
1.
Acoustic or "popcorn" ceilings gotta go! Hire a pro to make this go
away and update the look of your home. The rooms will look more open, brighter
and a lot cleaner.
2.
Today's buyers do not want carpeting all over the home. Opt for wood floors in
as many rooms as you can afford. If you have carpeting, make sure it is free of
spots, clean and always vacuumed.
3.
Anything "brass" has gotta go, since these are considered a dated
look.Consider either oil rubbed bronze or satin nickel finishes for faucets,
lighting, door knobs, cabinet knobs, etc. This is a fix that you can accomplish
on your own.
4.
Get new lighting over the vanity areas of your bathrooms. Those
"hollywood" strips date a home and new ones are an easy way to update
that bathroom. Make the new vanity light match your faucet.
Consider making a few
basic changes to your home to get the new homebuyer interested in your home.
