Are you interested in selling your Westfield home? Does it need some updating? Large remodel jobs might feel like a daunting task. You can increase your Westfield home’s value with little effort. Making a few small changes reap larger returns than you might think.
Increase Your Westfield Home’s Value With These Simple Changes
Kitchen
Buyers love kitchens. One way you can increase your Westfield home’s value involves adding a backsplash. You don’t have to hire a contractor. This job takes very little time or money to complete. Visit your local home improvement store for a variety of styles to choose from. Subway tiles are simple, classic and never go out of style. Some backsplashes even come with a peel-and-stick option.

Another quick and easy way to increase your Westfield home’s value is to change out your bathroom mirror. Instead of a boring, flat, clipped in mirror, opt for a beautiful framed mirror to compliment your vanity. Before you show your home to potential Buyers, you might want to consider displaying a new set of plush towels. Will this actually increase your Westfield home’s value? Not likely. It will, however, increase a Buyer’s impression of your property. And that can translate to a higher sale price. Sometimes, the little things make the biggest difference.
Entryway
You’d be amazed at what a fresh coat of paint will do for your front door. New hardware works wonders as well. Add a few colorful plants and a water feature to welcome Buyers into your Westfield home.
Lighting
Yet another way to increase your Westfield home’s value involves updating your light fixtures. Replace an old chandelier with a new, more modern one. Don’t forget your exterior light fixtures either. Or, you could add higher end ceiling fans to bedrooms, the family room, your dining room and other areas. Not only will fans change the look of a room, but they help keep energy costs down.
Yard
Your lawn should be well manicured. But, you can increase your Westfield home’s value quickly by adding mulch. Mulch is simple to install and easy to maintain. It also adds an interesting element to your home’s appearance.
