When your house is on the market, every second counts. For some people, selling quickly is a priority because they need to move for a job or before school starts. For others, they’re already in a new place and can’t afford to pay two mortgages. And for a few, buying the house of their dreams is contingent on selling their current place. No matter what the reason may be, one thing is certain: the less time your home is listed for sale, the better.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help speed along the process. Often, making a number of small updates around your house can help your home sell faster and for a better price. And while it might seem counterintuitive to spend money on updates you won’t get to enjoy, the chances are good that you’ll be able to earn back whatever you spend on upgrades. (Huge makeovers, on the other hand, should be splurges saved for your new place.)
Below are some of the most effective upgrades that can help sell a house. Most of them can be completed in an afternoon, while others take less than five minutes. All of them, however, are worth considering, especially if they can get you out of your old house and into your dream one.
