14 Tips To Prepare Your Home For Selling

Upgrading your current HDB flat to a bigger home is a huge decision that a family makes. As the family expands, naturally you will need a bigger home to cater to everyone’s needs. Most people without a big budget will normally sell their 3 or 4 bedroom HDB flat in order to buy a 5 bedrooms resale HDB flat or you can consider condominiums in Bukit Batok if you have the budget. In order to sell your home, you will need to do some preparations. This article will guide your through some tips to prepare your home for selling.


1. Clean Your House

I cannot stress this enough as this is the most basic rule: cleanliness. Many people overlook the basic rule of keeping their house in a clean condition. This includes both the inside and the outside. Clear the garbage, sweep and mop the floor, clear the mess, make sure the pathway is clear of unwanted objects. Keep your unit clean, tidy and clear of obstruction.


2. Odorless

Make sure your house is free from any unwanted or unpleasant smell. Avoid cooking something suwith strong scent that will linger around your house, such as bacon or fried chicken. You definitely do not want to have your home smelling like fast food chain or hawker center.


3. Clear The Clutter

You definitely do not want the buyers to focus on the mess and clutters you have at home. Not only it looks messy, it also decreases the likelihood of people buying your house. Keep the pathway clear from any clutter. Make sure you dispose the garbage in a proper way.


4. Repaint

Choosing the right paint, the right color makes a huge difference. Using the right paint can instantaneously revive and brighten your initially dull looking unit. Hence, choose a color that will brighten up your unit or a color that adds a touch of liveliness for your unit. Nobody wants to come back to a place where it further brings down the already-tired-from-work mood. Make sure to use only good quality paint as well to protect your home and will certainly last you a few years. If you are unsure of which color to choose, you can always ask for advices from the stores, as most stores offer a wide variety of colors for you to choose from and they will be able to advise you on the matching of the color that suits your house theme.


5. Keep Decoration Simple

Avoid having exaggerated furniture or painting. You want the buyers to feel like home when they visit. You may keep the classic artwork or painting but you might want to ditch anything exaggerated or improper from your home. Keep the decoration at home simple.


6. Remove Personal Items

Remove anything personal from the house, such as photo album or family photos from your table or refrigerator. This is to allow the buyers to envision themselves being the homeowner.


7. Natural Sunlight

Let the natural sunlight comes in by opening the window. Brighten up your space. This will also enhance your house decoration and bring out the best out of it. In addition, natural sunlight will make your space appear bigger than it is.


8. Keep Potted Plants Indoor

You can also have a pot or two potted plants to bring energy in your house. Just small-potted plants will do and you can place them at the corner of your house. Just make sure that the plants are free from bugs.


9. Remove Bulky Furniture

If your space is small, you will need to consider removing big and bulky furniture, as bulky furniture tends to make the space appear smaller.


10. Organize The Closets

Use storage box and dividers to keep your things organized. Remove unwanted things and organize your closet. This will allow the buyers to think you have sufficient storage at home.


11. Fixture and fittings

Kitchen and bathroom fixtures such as faucets, sinks, door knobs can get old quickly or even outdated. Consider changing fixtures that have been around for more than 5 years. Take the design and quality into account as well when you are changing them. The positioning of fixtures and fittings play a major role in boosting up your house value as well. Nothing annoys the people more than having a fixture placed at a very odd and inconvenience location, for example, toilet paper holders located at an unreachable location.


12. Turn Bathroom Into Spa

You may also turn your bathroom into a spa. Moreover, it costs not more than $30 to create a relaxing and luxurious bath. You can buy scented candles, bathmats, and towels from Ikea at affordable prices. Remember to buy coordinating colors that match the theme of the bathroom.


13. Comfortable Living Room

People spend most of their time relaxing in the living room after a long day of work. Therefore, you could beautify your living area to make the buyers feel at ease whenever they are at the living room. Help the buyers to picture themselves enjoying and relaxing themselves at the living room. Rearrange the position of your furniture if you need to.


14. Make Something Nice

If you have the time, you could even bake some treats for your potential buyers. A simple brownies or cookies is enough to make the buyers feel welcome. If you are not a baker, you could buy some snacks from the bakery or supermarket.


In conclusion, these are some tips that you could follow to prepare your home for selling. Most importantly, they are definitely affordable and do not require major renovations that would break your bank account. You will be blown away on how much of a huge difference it can make if you follow all these tips. There are also many articles out on how you can prepare your house for selling.

  15. Tips yang bagus. Double cek pun penting. Setiap keputusan kena fikir dua tiga kali. lepas tu nak jual rumah jangan menipu pembeli. Kalau ada fasiliti tak da di kawasan tersebut jangan ikut dalam senarai pemaju plak. mcm rumah sedara ruby. cakap ada swimming pool, gimnasium. Tapi nan hado. Masa nak melawat kawasan, cakap takda akses kad la apa la bla bla. Then jual harga pasaran kemain kebabom mahal. Nasib baik peguam uruskan. So pentingnya peguam dalam meguruskan dokumen black and white bertulis dan sign. Hehehe
