10 Steps to Boost Your Home Value
By FrontDoor.com | Published: 2/20/2008
Clear out dirt and clutter to snag that buyer.
Step 4: Clean Now for Profits Later
A house can never be too clean. If you were a buyer, would you choose the house that is slightly dingy or the home down the street that is clean and welcoming?
By making a clean house a priority, you: a) stay on top of maintenance issues, spotting potential problems before they become expensive ones, b) prevent dirt and junk from building up over time (things like mold can become a nuisance if allowed to spread unchecked), and c) ensure healthier living for you and your family!
Remember, decluttering is a form of cleaning. Just as dirt builds up, so does clutter. Don't waste money moving your junk around. Get rid of it now. When it's time to sell, you will feel confident about what you are presenting to the buyer.
