The Cheapest Way To Improve Your Chapel Hill Home For Sale

In a word - paint. At $20 a gallon it is an incredibly cheap way to spruce up your house and prepare it for market. By all means, let your kids paint their room whatever color they want while you live there. BUT, when it comes time to sell, buyers may not like the flat black or bright pink walls. This is one project that is easy to do yourself. Some very simple tools, prep work, and a few hours can add thousands of dollars to your selling price and reduce time on the market.
Even if you hire someone to paint, it is still worthwhile! Just think back to when you were house hunting. Dirty walls, chipped trim paint. I’m sure that did not make you feel good about the house.
So, invest some time and money in paint when it comes time to sell. You will not regret it!
