When getting a house ready for the real estate market, we advise clients on how they can get top dollar. In most cases there are some easy, cost-effective tricks to spice up your home. Here are a couple of budget-friendly home improvements we just suggested for one of our Costa Mesa homes for sale.1. Curb AppealRemember, curb appeal creates the first impression for a buyer. This Costa Mesa home was surrounded by overgrown bushes that blocked the home from the street.For $400 this Costa Mesa home has a much cleaner look. The fencing gives a structured look, in comparison to the rambling bushes. The flowers add nice pops of color to the lawn. They are small and easy to maintain. All they need is a quick watering once a day to keep them blooming and fragrant. (See more info about this home HERE.)2. Dated Bathroom VanitiesThe bathroom vanities were original 1950s Formica with plain wood doors that were difficult to keep closed. Given that other homes in this Costa Mesa neighborhood have been updated, we know that buyers will be quick to compare this home to others so it’s necessary to upgrade them.For about $1500, the vanities have been given a modern update. To give the bathrooms a fresh look it is not necessary to go overboard when you remodel to sell. A simple, updated look is all it will take to keep buyers interested. Add a nice shower curtain and give the bathroom a good cleaning and you’ve got yourself a bathroom that will impress buyers and help you get top dollar for your home.When listing your home for sale, it’s important to realize that there are simple home improvements and home staging tips that sellers can use to get top dollar.
