If you are thinking of selling your house anytime soon, don't do so just yet if you haven't undergone this single renovation that you really need.
According to Elle Décor, there's really just one renovation all home owners should consider giving their homes before they list it out for another person or family to purchase. HGTV's "Income Property" host Scott McGillivray told Country Living that the value of the home upon selling lies in making smart renovations.
"Statistically, the majority of people will renovate their homes in preparation for selling it, which is a great idea because if you do the right investments, you're going to make the most return on your investments," he said.
With this, McGillivray said that the one and only thing that needs to be renovated before selling the house is the kitchen. In order to add more premium or value to your home on sale, here are some of the DIY renovations you can do to your kitchen.
First, have everything that's broken fixed as soon as possible. Don't allow a prospective buyer to see that the kitchen is not well-maintained because this can immediately throw them off.
Second, make it a point to update your kitchen hardware. To add a little more space in your kitchen, whatever is no longer in good condition needs to go.
Third, make it a point to check your kitchen finishing. Sometimes this is overlooked, and you will just be surprised when a buyer suddenly points them out to you. When this happens, the buyer can immediately ask you to lower the price of the house because it has some issues.
Now that you know all of these things, make sure to check and then fix your kitchen if you are really serious about selling your house.
