1. Mini Bathroom Makeover for around $650 Single Vanity = $280 Faucet = $160 Cabinet Knob = $3.60 Drawer Pull = $3.40 Mirror = $95 Paint = $100
2. Paint Your Home When it comes to paint, though, the devil is in the details. Painting your front door black, in particular, could add as much as $6,000 to your home’s sale price, according to Zillow’s research. Similarly, blue bathrooms can add nearly $3,000 to a home’s sale price. Throughout the rest of the house, aim for modern neutrals like gray and taupe to boost a home’s appeal. Plus, paint is relatively affordable, adding to the ROI of these changes. On the other end of the spectrum, a home painted yellow sells for $3,600 less on average than similar homes. The average cost to paint the interior of a house falls between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot. If you're doing the ceilings, walls and trim, the cost per square foot will likely fall between $3 and $4. If there is damage to the walls that needs to be repaired before painting can proceed, you'll pay extra. The average home in Austin is 1900 sq/ft
3. Update Fixtures Updating door knobs, sink fixtures, light fixtures can really bring your home up-to date for a relatively low cost.
4. Upgrade your curb appeal Redoing your flower bed with new bright flowers and keeping the lawn well-maintained not only helps with your listing pictures it also helps get buyers through the door. Your curb appeal is the first impression and you want to make sure you're starting out on the right foot.
5. Replace your floors Depending on your market area simply putting in vinyl plank flooring, tile or hardwood floors over the common carpet can drastically increase the appeal of your home over the competition. Nothing buyers hate more than walking into a home seeing your 15 year old stained carpet.
6. Removing Popcorn Ceilings Nothing reminds buyers that you have an older home more than popcorn ceilings. With today's market flooded with new construction homes popcorn ceilings stick out like a sore thumb. On average, the price to remove a popcorn ceiling falls between $1 and $2 per square foot, with the average homeowner spending around $1,768. Most homeowners spend between $899 and $2,750 on the project.
