Housing Market Must-Haves

      According to Zillow, the best time to sell your house is in May. The site reported homeowners were able to sell their homes faster, and get higher prices for them, than in any other month. If you're thinking of listing, preparation starts now. What are home buyers looking for when they shop around? We are so glad you asked!
      With the big trends leaning towards the "farmhouse" or "rustic" look, accents with natural materials are worth the investment. Think of wooden beams on ceilings, stone counter tops, and hardwood floors. Don't be afraid to mix these textures in each room, while showing off a softer side like faux fur area rugs or velvet couches. Adding these two concepts will give your home a modern look to draw in potential buyers.
      Another modern tip is to make the layout as much of an open floor plan as possible. There are limitations to this, as not everyone can afford any major renovations and knock down walls before putting a home on the market. More buyers are looking for those extra things to help make their lives easier, such as having a home office, a gym, guest rooms, playrooms for children, or even a library. Highlight any extra rooms on the listing for this reason. Make every nook and cranny available for use, such as finishing basements, or attics to make the most of your home.
      If you do have the budget to update, moving towards smart appliances is a step in the right direction. Fridges, thermostats, alarm systems, and lighting that can be controlled from a smartphone is the wave of the future. With these tips, you should add fresh paint where ever it's needed before your realtor shows an open house. Call MDF Painting for a free estimate to have your home looking it's best and brightest! We can give great suggestions on how to improve the value of your home before listing.
