Give the House a Cozy Comfortable Look

Make sure that you know what your investment will be when you plan a remodel or addition.

We Buy Houses Cash – River Oaks TX: Make the house you are selling look and feel like the ideal spot to cozy up in when you’ve had a long day at work. Everyone wants to come home to a relaxing and comfortable environment. If you can give the potential buyers looking at your house the idea that yours is the one that fits the bill, you may just have a sale.

When you consider repairing or remodeling for the sale, keep this in mind. If you are planning to put a patio cover on to provide shelter from the hot summer sun, think about putting up a pergola or gazebo instead. It might be a little more work and expense, but it will make a much bigger impact. Gazebos conjure up images of mint julep on a hot summer’s afternoon, or tea with the girls mid-morning. Pergolas can be fashioned into wonderful family barbeque spots. Add a firepit and you have a terrific seling point.

This is particularly true if your house is a standard garden variety style house in a neighborhood full of the same type homes. A stand out feature like a spa contained in a gazebo or a barbeque pit will definitely spark interest. How many houses in your neighborhood have these additions to the outdoor living spaces?

“The home must present itself as a wonderful place to come home to after a hectic day out in the world.”

Make sure that you know what your investment will be when you plan a remodel or addition. Be aware of permit costs and materials, labor, and maintenance for whatever you put in. Some additional features are not good returns on investment. Swimming pools, for example, are one of the worst things you can spend your remodeling money on, as buyers are sometimes even put off by them. They see them as expensive to maintain or dangerous to their young pets or children. You are highly unlikely to get an additional price for your house that reflects the cost of a swimming pool.

For the cozy effect indoors, consider changing your lighting plan. Put in dimmer switches where possible, and use daylight bulbs. Soft lighting is good in areas like entertainment centers or media rooms, bedrooms, and baths. Imagine a soak in the tub with the soft glow of a dimmed wall sconce.That’s the image you want to portray. The home must present itself as a wonderful place to come home to after a hectic day out in the world. Turn your house for sale into that sanctuary everyone wants to come home to.
