The 4 Best Value Adding Renovations You Must Do Before Selling

Updated: May 12, 2022

Unsure about which renovations add the most value to your property before selling?

Find out the 4 simple and affordable renovations that will make buyers pay top dollar for your property.



For the small investment that you are spending on the updates and renovations, you could be adding hundreds of thousands of dollars of value to your property. In the current market, properties that are renovated and ready to move in, are doing extremely well and buyers are willing to pay a premium of having the luxury of moving in and doing nothing to the property. This creates competition between buyers fighting for your property, which will dramatically increase the sale price.


The 4 best value adding renovations include:


1 - Fresh coat of paint


A fresh coat of paint is your best friend while preparing your property for sale. A bright white is usually our recommendation for the interior as it makes the rooms look a-lot brighter and light filled.

Painting your roof and driveway is not necessary, however it is definitely worth the small investment, improving the curb appeal and first impressions of your property for potential buyers. Usually a dark grey / charcoal is the colour of choice for the roof and driveway.



2 - New flooring


Replacing old carpet is also one of the best ways to freshen up your property and reel those extra buyers in. For the small expense of relaying new carpet, it is definitely worth it. Usually a dark colour is best as it hides any dirt that buyers may bring into your home during an open home inspection. Replacing carpet with solid flooring such as floating floorboards is becoming more and more popular as well as it is a cost effective strategy to modernise the interior.

3 - Pressure washing the exterior of your home


Pressure washing your home is an extremely cost effective strategy which dramatically improves the curb appeal of your property. It will remove any dirt and grime that has built up on your property and will give the home a nice fresh look. Pressure washing the roof and driveway is also a great and easy way to clean your property and give buyers a great first impression.


4 - Simple landscaping


Simple landscaping touches can completely transform the look of your garden and house, further adding to your curb appeal. Agents usually recommend to add fresh mulch to the garden beds and to give all the plants and grass a trim back. This is an extremely cost effective strategy which will tidy up your home and present extremely well to buyers.
