So, you’ve made the decision to put your property on the market. It’s good way to get extra income, but you also want to make a profit from it.
If you’re wondering how to increase your property value, consider starting out with these five ways:
#1 Clean, de-clutter and decorate

If you were a potential buyer, would you go for a house that’s sparkly clean, or a run-down one filled with dust? The former, of course! Get rid of dirt and dust that have gathered and declutter items that are not needed. Not only will it give a good impression to your potential buyers, if you’re currently living in that house it will be healthier for you and your loved ones.
Don’t forget to make your curb presentable as well! Clear your front porch or yard (if you have one), replace the door and maybe add some simple décor like new flower pots. Don’t forget to throw away any rubbish at the back of your house as they can be visible to your visitors when they’re driving around the street.
#2 Make sure you have good photos of your house

Here’s something most people would often overlook: house photos! Before house buyers make their decision to visit your property they will look through pictures online. So, make sure that your real estate agent has great photos to attract them. Without nice photos, your property will lack visitors coming to see it.
#3 Update maintenance

Your house’s appearance is important, but what about the things keep it functioning? Are all the lights working? Is the door grill you installed before secure enough? Ensure that your air conditioning is working well, and that there are no leaks from the ceiling or windows as well.
Also, remember to make a checklist of items that need annual maintenance and keep track of it!
#4 Change up your house’s layout

Don’t be afraid of changing up your house layout or re-arranging the furniture in your house to make sure that it’s functional. You could take down the wall between your kitchen and the living room, for instance, so that there would be more space in the kitchen, or you could change an unused smaller room into a personal study.
#5 Give your house a paint makeover
Beautify your house with new fresh paint, especially if the existing paint work is starting to peel or crack. Ensure that you don’t use too many colours and keep them neutral so that you don’t turn off your visitors from buying.
