your bathroom smell like eucalyptus and financial security.
Step 5: Appliances – Shiny Sells
Buyers love new appliances, especially if they’re stainless steel and don’t sound like a rocket launch every time they run.According to the National Association of REALTORS®: 41% of buyers are very interested in new appliances. Many would pay up to $2,000 more for them.If you can afford to upgrade, do it. If not, just make your current appliances so clean they look new—like, “Are you sure this fridge isn’t fresh off the showroom floor?” clean.
Step 6: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Look at your hardware. If your towel bars and drawer pulls look like they’ve been through three world wars, it’s time for a refresh.You don’t have to replace everything—just paint them! Yep, spray paint exists specifically for knobs, pulls, and light fixtures. A little elbow grease, and voilà —you’ve got a $5 makeover that looks like a $50 one.Other quick, cheap fixes: Replace worn toilet seats (please… for everyone’s sake). Paint or touch-up cabinets. Repair grout like your sale depends on it (because it might).
Quick Recap:
*Buyers decide within 8 seconds if they’re into your home. That’s faster than most people commit to a Netflix show. *Declutter and deep-clean like your sanity and sale price depend on it. *Neutral paint sets the stage for imagination. *Kitchens and bathrooms are the MVPs—make them sparkle. *Appliances matter—new = shiny = $$$. *Update small hardware to elevate the whole vibe.
