timeless like marble or subway tile for a fresh, clean look.
Bold Paint Colours Bold paint colours might express your personality, but they can be a turnoff for buyers. Bright or dark hues can dominate a room, making it hard for buyers to imagine their own decor. Stick with neutral colours that create a blank canvas. Converted Spaces Turning a garage into a home gym or a bedroom into a walk-in closet might suit your needs, but it could limit your home’s appeal. Most buyers want spaces to serve their intended purpose. If you’ve repurposed rooms, consider returning them to their original function before selling. Carpeting Hardwood floors are almost universally preferred by home buyers. Carpeting, even new, can feel like it’s hiding dirt, dander, and stains from previous owners. If possible, replace carpeting with hardwood, which offers a cleaner, more versatile foundation for any decor. Too Much Landscape An elaborate garden might be your pride and joy, but not everyone wants to spend their weekends pruning hedges and mowing the lawn. Simple, low-maintenance landscaping is often more appealing to buyers who are wary of high upkeep. Hot Tubs and Pools Pools and hot tubs might seem like luxury features, but they often bring more headaches than joy. They require constant maintenance, pose safety risks, and can turn off buyers who see them as liabilities. Consider removing these features, especially if they’re above ground or in poor condition.
