Placing your home on the market is stressful. Whether you’re moving for work, need a change of scenery, or can no longer afford your home, you want to make as much money as possible. Though home renovations can cost a significant chunk of change, they can be just the boost you need to make your home into the bombshell you know it can be. Redoing your floors can be a great investment in the overall value of your home.
Fresh Carpeting
Though new carpeting is always a nice touch, if you’ve had pets in your home, you may want to seriously consider tearing up your old carpeting and going with something fresh. Even the most well-behaved pets have accidents, and not only that, but their hair tends to get bunched up in carpeting, which can not only smell bad, but can irritate those with allergies as well. The last thing you want at an open house is for someone to be allergic to the home you’re trying to sell them. Carpeting comes in so many variations that it’s a powerful, yet simple way to totally change the look of a room in your home.
Hardwood Floors
Whether or not you’ve always had hardwood floors or are only thinking about installing them now, new hardwood floors are a huge selling point in any home sale. We’ve all read those ads in the subway newspapers for luxury real estate in New York City, if for no other reason than to fantasize about a potential future home. In their special features, they list doormen, building amenities, floor-to-ceiling windows, and, you guessed it, hardwood floors. Simply elegant, hardwood floors are rarely a detriment to the look of any home. If, however, hardwood just isn’t your style, you can cover up your flooring with fun and interesting area rugs. Hardwood floors allow for the best of both worlds, which can be a selling point in and of itself.
The flooring in your home can be a make or break factor when trying to sell. Though it may seem costly at first, redoing your floors will end up adding value to your home, making a sale bigger and easier. Contact Lane Sales today to redo your home floors!
