Sell Your Home Fast
Everybody can turn a house into a home. But, not everybody can turn their homes into a sellable property that sells fast. Updating the main features in your homes such as the living room, bedroom, or kitchen is great but upgrading or re-purposing some areas around can add not just convenience but selling points too! For many years that we have performed home inspections in Charlotte NC, we discovered that potential buyers do not just look around for potential issues. In fact, they look around for upgrades and extra features in the home.
Many homeowners fear the idea of renovating or adding extra features when it’s time to sell. Of course, certain projects will definitely cost a good amount of money. What they do not know is that these features which we are about to get into can help sellers shorten the sale period. Plus, if you do the math, the cost of these upgrades is only a small fraction of the immense financial benefits you get after selling.
We’ve listed down the top extra home features that most home buyers are commonly looking for and help you sell your home fast.
-
-
Laundry Room
-
A separate room where you can stack all your newly washed clothes? Why not! Many homes that do not have a separate laundry room end up with a pile of clothes on the living room or bedroom, and sometimes on a chair. But, if you do not have an extra room, try using the basement and refurbish it to create a convenient laundry area. Repurposing your basement is also the cheapest and easiest option since the utility lines are already installed.

Energy-efficient Appliances
-
Cost-cutting is technically a must now since electricity is undoubtedly charged higher these days. Potential buyers are highly impressed to find homes that have energy-efficient appliances. Having these is a great selling point and helps your property stand out. Among the energy-efficient appliances you can add are washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers that help save a good amount of utility expenses.

-
Garage with Extra Storage Spaces
-
Having a garage is a major plus. What’s even better is a garage with organizers and extra storage spaces. The garage helps keep the clutter out from the living area while close enough inside the home to easily transport tools or other items into the house. Catch the attention of your potential buyers through installing cabinetry, shelving, pegboards, complementary storage boxes, lighting, additional extension cords, and other useful items.

-
Pantry
-
An easy access pantry that can store lots of food is definitely a turn on for buyers. Apart from it stores food to help homeowners save time and money, it also declutters and organizes an overcrowded kitchen. It is a great extra feature in your kitchen as it allows bigger storage of non-perishable items and kitchen essentials while being close enough to the preparation area.

-
Wooden floors
-
Carpets are now becoming accent features in some parts of the home. But unlike before where it covers almost the entire house, hardwood floors have replaced them for maintenance, durability, and aesthetic purposes. Carpeted floors need constant maintenance and should be replaced every 8 to 10 years. Hardwood floors on the other hand are far more durable which usually lasts a lifetime and cuts costs on flooring maintenance.
-
-
Walk-in Closet
-
You don’t need to put up a huge walk-in closet. A small space with shelves and hanging rods can perfectly do the job. You can hire a consultant who specializes in custom designing a small space and turn it into a convenient walk-in closet. Potential buyers are attracted to this extra feature as it saves space and is much more organized compared to having a separate dresser and cabinet.
-
-
Dining room
-
Open-floor concepts are common these days. But some people go for a separate dining area next to the kitchen. If you are currently embracing the open-space trend, make use of a simple divider to define a particular area. You can use columns or foldable walls to do this if you do not like the idea of installing solid walls for the division.
Just put yourself in the position of a home buyer. Think of a renovation project or feature that you can possibly add to catch their attention and sell your home fast.
