Chicagoland NW Suburban IL Real Estate & Community News: Selling your home – making your home stand out and shine for little money

So, selling your home in any market is tough and right now NAR have just released figures which show that despite home sales last month being 8.5% up over last year nationwide, numbers have slowed a little thanks to the ending of the tax credit – this has resulting in a slight bump up in inventory.

Focus on lightly renovating certain areas for little money can have a big impact in the sale-ability of your home - here are some ideas on where to put your efforts;

1. The Kitchen – clean, tidy up, declutter and repair chipped cabinets, counters and a lick of paint can go a long way!

2. Hig traffic areas - carpets, doorways, handles, baseboards etc. clean, repaint and clean again!

3. The yard – mow the lawn, water plants and trim edges.

4. Bathrooms – Regrout, recaulk, replace cracked tiles and clean!

5. Windows – clean! More light = a larger looking space!

Of course if I am your Realtor then I will work tirelessly to ensure that your home is marketed to all potential buyers in the area.
