Are you thinking of selling your home? Check out these easy DIY projects that can add value and make your home stand out to potential buyers.

Address the Exterior

Prune the bushes, powerwash the fence and never underestimate the impact of a fresh coat of paint on the shutters, siding or doors. Replace your old mailbox and house numbers or give them a facelift with spray paint.

Go Neutral

Use a soft, neutral hue to give the people what they want: a blank slate. Soft shades of white, beige and gray are popular picks because they appear fresh and clean. 

Update Light Fixtures

Light fixtures are the jewelry of the home, so make sure yours are prepared to dazzle prospective buyers. 

Focus on Floors

No one wants to come home to a pet-stained carpet or dingy floor, so replace any worn-out or dated flooring throughout your home.

Remove Popcorn Ceiling

If you haven’t already removed that unsightly popcorn ceiling, make it a priority before putting your home on the market.
