To increase the value of your home before selling, consider focusing on minor renovations and improvements that can have a significant impact. Some cost-effective strategies include decluttering and deep cleaning your home, enhancing curb appeal with landscaping and fresh paint, updating kitchen and bathroom fixtures, repairing any visible damage, and applying a fresh coat of paint. Additionally, investing in energy-efficient upgrades like LED lighting or improving insulation can attract potential buyers. Consult with a real estate agent for personalized advice based on your specific property and market conditions.
