Some of these may be obvious but you would be surprised, how many people overlook these things, when trying to sell their property:
1. Not repairing obvious damage
Repairing minor but obvious damage will make it easier to
command a higher price. Things like chipped paint, leaky faucets and carpet
stains, can really undermine a potential buyer’s perception of your property.
2. Removing mature trees
Mature trees are not only aesthetically pleasing but well
placed trees can lower energy bills and provide privacy. Mature trees are not
easy to replace and can increase your homes resale value.
3. Don’t convert the garage
Australian’s love their garages, so convert the garage at
your own peril. Garage conversions don’t always work out because of poor
insulation and potential buyers will balk at the lack of covered parking space.
4. Unusual or quirky painted walls
Neutral shades tend to be more appealing to buyers and
actually can help boost a home’s selling price. Stylish and clean colours,
signal that a home is well cared for, or that the previous owner had an eye for
design, that will extend to the rest of the property.
5. Careless Home Staging
Staging your home properly can really help you increase the
resale value. Make an effort to
de-clutter and re-arrange furniture to show off the best features. Experts say
that the kitchen and living room are the most important rooms to stage.
