3 Ways to Improve a Flip’s Value
When you’re flipping a house, you want it to be as valuable as possible—that way, you can make the best profit.
So what do buyers want you to do?
3 Simple Ways to Increase a House’s Value
First things first: You’ll need to work with a Realtor® who can help you price the home properly and sell it quickly. You don’t want to leave the house sitting on the market for too long.
Before you get to that stage, though, here’s what buyers want you to do.
- Cut energy costs.
Buyers don’t want to spend a fortune on utility bills, so if you’re including appliances, make sure they’re the green kind. You can go a little farther than that, too, by asking the local energy company to come out and give you a free energy audit; they’ll tell you what you can do to maximize energy efficiency.
- Plant some trees—or at least some shrubs.
As landscaping improvements that improve and mature over time, trees and shrubs are a great investment. If you can boost the curb appeal of the property by helping buyers feel more connected with nature, all the better.
- Install a water filtration system in the kitchen.
If you’re up for it—and if your market will support it (talk to your Realtor first)—install a water filtration system in the kitchen. It’s a selling point: No more bottled water, and you know exactly where it comes from.
