I’m often asked what homeowners can do to get their homes ready for listing. Today I’ve got a list of five things you can do to your home without breaking the bank:

1. A tile backsplash in the kitchen. This is a relatively inexpensive thing to do and Home Depot offers classes on how to create the look if you’re a DIY’er like myself. This simple project can completely update the look and feel of your kitchen without having to spend the money on an entire remodel.
2. Painting rooms. Fresh paint really goes a long way without costing too much money. Be sure to choose neutral colors that will help the buyer visualize themselves in the room and give them a fresh canvas on which to work if they want to personalize the home once they’ve moved in.
3. Replace kitchen and bathroom faucets. Updating these items throughout the home gives everything a fresh look without having to replace the cabinets in a larger remodel. You can find new fixtures for a great price at Home Depot.
4. Spruce up your entryway. Adding a few simple decorations inside, as well as some potted plants outside your front door will go a long way towards adding positive curb appeal to your home.
5. Add a fresh layer of mulch to your gardens. Doing this simple thing will give your yard a cleaner, more put-together look and do great things for your curb appeal.

These simple things will go a long way to adding value to your home, and you don’t have to break the bank to do it.
