What is Happening in the Mortgage Market

If you are thinking about selling your home, you probably are not interested in investing a great deal of money in it for renovations before putting it on the market. I know for my money, when shopping for or selling ANYTHING, I want the most benefit for the least amount spent. There are ways to rejuvenate your home and brighten it up for very little money. Sometimes it is just little “touches” that make all the difference.

If you are stepping up to a new home don't forget to get your mortgage arranged before you sell.  For a step by step process for mortgage approval visit my website here.

6 Budget Friendly Steps to prepare your home to sell.

1.Make the outside of your home as appealing as possible. Clean off the porch or patio, plant flowering plants, and paint the front door if it is showing wear.

2. Keep your home uncluttered.  Remove most of the items from your counters, closets, and garage.  It gives a roomier feel to the place.  At the very least, remove all the notes and artwork from your refrigerator.

3. Touch up spots with paint. Scuff marks, door dings, etc., make your home look “worn”. A little paint can refresh a room.

4. Just as you did in the yard, add some color with flower arrangements or plants, preferably real ones.

5. Help to make a comfortable impression with scent. Candles, potpourri, warm scented oils, are all pleasing and give an ambient feel to a home.

6.  This should go without say but, well, pick up all dirty clothes and dishes, vacuum  the carpets and dust the furniture.

These are just a few things that will help those on a budget to stage their home for sale. They are quick and they work in helping you show your home better.
