BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Believe it or not, it’s a buyers market. Gone are the days when a home lasted on the real estate market for a few days. When buyers made sure their contract stayed top of mind by offering trips, theater tickets and side gifts. When all a seller had to do was put a fresh batch of cookies on the kitchen table and wait for potential buyers to show up. That time has come to pass. Before you place your home on the market, consider giving it a fresh perspective with a few simple and inexpensive projects that will help you get the most out of your home. According to the National Painting and Coatings Association, painting is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to enhance the appearance of a home. Color is a key factor in determining the success of a vibrant space. A splash of color on your walls adds a touch of pizzazz, taking a home from dull to dynamic. The look of crown molding reinforces charm and transforms simple walls into elegant and sophisticated decor. Its handsome architectural detail gives a room depth and substance. If your home is traditional in design, molding changes a nondescript surface into a focal point while increasing its perceived value. For potential buyers, floors are one of the most important elements of a home. Attractive hardwood flooring gives a home its unique character and dramatically enhances the total look. If you are not a fan of hardwood, you may prefer all natural tiles made of stone, ceramic and porcelain. They look exceptional and do not require a lot of ongoing maintenance. New carpet is also a fashionable idea because it provides a cozy look to any room as well as warmth during the colder months. In addition to these simple changes, replacing door knobs, light fixtures, electrical outlet plates and bath accessories also adds to the overall atmosphere and will help your home sell. And please don’t forget the cookies.
