Thinking of selling your apartment? If you do, are you struggling with the thought of the right time to do it? Or you are still confused whether the price you determined does justify the actual property value or not? This might be a good time considering that apartment prices have just started picking up the pace. Yet, as a seller, you would still want to boost the value of your property if there is a chance.
In our country, especially in Dhaka city, there is a relatively good number of people who are currently looking for apartments. It is safe to assume that they know the pros and cons of buying a used flat so it wouldn’t be exactly a piece of cake to impress them with your property and the price tag. Therefore, you have to renovate it uniquely so that it stands out. Question is how and where? Wouldn’t that be expensive? Yes, it might be, but we know just the ways you can boost your apartment price without hurting your pocket much.
Kitchen Is The Key
When it comes down buying one, you would take a good look in the kitchen closely too if you were the buyer. This section of the apartment is used the most, and hardly people pay attention to take care of it. Now, a full kitchen renovation might cost you a lot but renovating it smartly would not. First of all, nothing speaks for an immaculate kitchen than a fresh set of white tiles on the counter. People will go crazy for that. However, don’t go too trendy on this one which might incur a more substantial expense.
Secondly, cabinets are of great use when you install it in the kitchen. It will change the perception of the new buyer if they notice a suitable and standard cabinet in there. So, if don’t have a cabinet already, get one! There are plenty of home decor showrooms where you’d get lucrative kitchen fixtures. Also, don’t forget to display all your beautiful kitchen appliances. That way the buyers will get a hint of the living experience there and might just do the trick for you.
Bathroom Detailing
Another small but integral part of the apartment is the bathroom. A nice and tidy bath will make the buyer understand that you took care of your property quite well. Here, you wouldn’t need to upgrade much but keep an eye on every detail. Maybe you should fix the shower knob, replace the old towel hanger with a better one. Also, you can easily remold the tiles on your own! Since sanitary wares are expensive, change only the fittings you must need. Then again, you might want to replace the bathroom mirror. It will add a cleaner and newer look there which most buyers want.
Well-lit Apartment Looks Bigger And Better
People have a natural inclination to light and air in their home. So, you would want to maximize this opportunity to boost up your price. All you need to do is add up some LED lights where it will perfectly suit your apartment. Best if you can replace the ceiling lights with them. Also, if you have pre-installed cabinets, use that. It is a relatively less expensive upgrade. Plus, you can always take away the lights with you if you want!
A Fresh Paint
You almost saw it coming, didn’t you? It’s because this is the last trick in the book. A sharp new paint will always send the right message to the buyer. They will feel more valued and welcomed. If you think this would be a hassle, then at least give your entrance hallway and the living room a proper makeover. It will also compliment the lighting upgrades. Although, don’t stress about picking the color. Keep it simple with light grey or beige or any neutral shades of your choice. That way, you can keep the cost down as well.
So, all you have to do is put up a big smile and give your buyers a warm welcome. When they see the price you are offering truly rationalizes the property being presented; buyers would happily pay for it. Make sure you bake them a cake once they agree with the right price!
