Spring Season home

If you live in the Mile-High City and are considering selling your home, it can be hard to know what steps to take in order to make sure you get the best deal possible. It’s important to separate fact from fiction when it comes to preparing your home for sale. Here are five common myths about selling a home—and the truths behind them.


Myth 1: You should renovate the kitchen and bathroom.


Freshly painted cabinets

Truth: While a remodel would certainly increase your property value, it's not necessary—especially if you don't have the budget for it. However, there are some inexpensive ways you can give your kitchen and bathroom a facelift without breaking the bank. Consider painting cabinets, replacing fixtures, and refreshing tile grout. These small changes will help spruce up the look of these rooms without all the hassle of a full remodel.




Myth 2: The interior of my home is more important than the exterior.


Yard tools are your friend

Truth: Actually, first impressions matter! Make sure that your landscaping is well-maintained and that you give your front porch or entryway an inviting feel with tasteful decorations like potted flowers or plants. Cleaning up any debris around the yard or driveway is also key—you want potential buyers to feel welcome right away!






Myth 3: There's no need to stage my home if it is already clean.


Staged homes sell faster

Truth: Staging is so much more than just cleaning! Taking time to arrange furniture and décor in a way that shows off each room's best features will create an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers. Even if you don't have much furniture or décor on hand, minimalistic staging can still go a long way in creating an appealing environment for viewers.




Myth 4: Everyone is over granite and stainless steel appliances.


Classic equipped kitchen

Truth: While granite countertops may no longer be 'trendy,' they are still classic additions that many people find desirable in homes today. Stainless steel appliances are also timeless classics that will stand out in any kitchen—but if they're outdated models, consider updating them before listing your property to appeal more to potential buyers who might be looking for more modern features in their new home.





Myth 5: Home shoppers can paint over colors they don’t like.


Neutral wall color

Truth: Potential buyers may overlook some colors they don't care for while touring homes; however, they might not want their hard-earned money going toward something they won't appreciate down the road (like repainting). Painting walls with neutral colors will help ensure that prospective buyers focus on how livable each space is rather than how much time (and money) it would take for them to switch out wall colors later on!




Prepare the Right Way


Selling your home doesn't have to be a hassle. With these tips in mind, you'll be one step closer to getting top dollar for your house.

Before you choose an agent or decide to take on the challenge of selling your house on your own, consider an agent with the SRS Designation.
