Truth be told, you might not need much help selling your home quickly in Houston these days. Houses are flying off the market.
But inching up that sales priceâpotentially into the next tier to attract those coveted buyers with looser purse strings? Now that never hurts.
First impressions don't have to cost a lot.
If you have $200 to spare, you're off to a good start. According to the report, the overwhelming majority of realtors recommend two relatively low-cost projects to help sell a home. About 85 percent of realtors said a full-home cleaning helps to sell for top dollar. Fixr says that'll cost you about $220. Another surprising and affordable update that makes a big impact? A painted front door, according to about 78 percent of realtors. Spend about $150 on supplies, invest a few hours of sweat equity, and watch your curb appeal climb.
