Increasing your Greene County Homes Value the Most for the Least amount of Money!

Take a look at a few seller tips and strategies to help you increase the value of your Greene county home for the least amount of money. My number 1 goal is to sell your house for the most amount of money is the shortest amount of time with fewer hassles of showings. I base this information on prior years of experience working with home seller's and the feedback received from the buyers looking at and buying my listings.

  • Painting and Carpeting

A fresh coat of paint will make a room look new and clean. New carpets will make it shine that much more. Be sure to pick a paint color that is neutral as that will appeal to the most people. I have seen many buyers walk into a home with rooms painted the seller's favorite color and just walk out because they hated it! Buyers also will always look down at the floor when they walk into a room. So be sure that the carpets are clean, and if they are worn, consider getting them replaced. Worn or dirty
carpets and badly painted or dirty walls will make a buyer think that there are other issues with your home even if there is not.
  • Energy Cost   

    Greene county house worth
    What is your Greene County house worth?


These days, most buyers will ask me "What is the average monthly utility bill cost?" of homes they are looking at to buy. Most utilities offer free energy audits. Take advantage of this as it can help you save money now and it can help you down the road when you are ready to sell your home! I have seen buyers favor homes that have lower monthly utility costs over other homes all else being equal!
  • Kitchen

In most homes, buyer will spend the most time in the kitchen. Make sure your kitchen is ready. If you have appliances that are dirty or old, get them cleaned spotless or consider replacing them. You do not need to spend a lot of money replacing your stove or refrigerator with top end appliances, but you do not want buyers walking into a kitchen, see a dirty stove or refrigerator and then walking out because of it. And do not forget the drawers and cabinets as buyers will open these! If you need a referral to a good cleaning service, let me know and I can send you a couple of names.

Best Home Improvements To Increase Your Greene County House Value

  • Deck - Adding a deck is a very cost efficient way to add square footage to your house. Decks cost around $6,000deck and generally recoup 75% of their value. Compared to other outdoor improvements (except painting) that's an excellent return.
  • New Windows - Your utility bill savings may make up for the iffy resale value, however, a good set of standard windows should get you around 68% back. If you start getting too fancy with custom shapes and sizes, though, don't expect to get as much in return.
  • Swimming Pool - In a word don't! Unless you're putting it in for you and your family to enjoy, it's commonly agreed that a swimming pool has no resale value at all. Reason #1? Sure, they sound nice, but pools are very expensive to maintain. Running a close second is the fear of pool accidents that's something nobody wants to experience.
  • Picture Perfect Gardens - Another nicety, but who's going to spend all that time and money? If the potential buyer is not horticulturally inclined, chances are your floral handiwork won't add to the offering price. The same can be said for expensive fences and stone walls they look nice, but buyers don't pay up for them.
  • Basic Is Better - It may not sound very exciting, but it's the basic improvements you make to your home that may have the greatest return on its value: a beautiful new bathroom won't make up for a leaky roof. So if you're thinking of selling your house in the next year or so, be sure to address any problems the home may have before you, say, install those sunken gardens you've always dreamed of.
  • Selling It Or Smelling It - Pet odors can be a problem when you're in the process of selling your home. If your house has an odor problem, you should remove any offending furniture or carpets or hire  professional to dogclean them. Be sure to check the cat box frequently and keep the litter fresh. Since some people have allergies or fears of certain animals, it's a good idea to put dogs or cats outside or confine your pets to one area when your house is being shown. It's hard for buyers to fully appreciate your home through itchy, watery eyes or in between sneezes! Even if the house is exactly what they want, your chances of selling it are less if the scent of Spot lingers in their memory.

What Is Your Greene County VA House Worth?

What Is Your Greene County VA House Worth?

If your wandering how much your Greene County would bring you in this rapidly changing real estate market you've come to the right place. Many are preparing for the spring market by doing some renovations, clean up and minor repairs. But will you recoup everything you're putting into your home? Find out which improvements will bring you the biggest return on your Greene County home this spring.

Best-Bet Home Improvements For Your Greene County VA Home

  • Painting
  • Area Conversions
  • Extra Bathroom
  • Kitchen
Greene County VA Generally speaking, increasing the functional space of your home holds its value longer than remodeling just to make a house look better. It's also much less expensive than adding an addition to your home. Converting attic space into a bedroom, for example, usually costs around $30,000 and returns about 73% of its cost, according to Remodeling magazine. Turning your basement into extra living space costs, on average, $40,000, with a recoup average of about 69% of your costs. You usually can't go wrong by adding an extra bathroom. At an average cost of $14,200, a new full bath can recoup 81% of its total cost! If you're looking to improve the appearance of your home for resale, or you just want an updated look for your own enjoyment, there are a few things you must consider before beginning any costly project. Sure, you can spend a lot on something purely for the personal pleasure of having it like that outdoor Jacuzzi under the attached gazebo or you can go the practical route and make an improvement that will increase your home's market value, such as installing energy efficient air-conditioning or repairing those shabby shingles. Be forewarned, however, and don't expect to recoup your costs on both counts. Many real estate brokers agree that just because you put $25,000 worth of improvements into your home doesn't mean that your house is worth $25,000 more!  It does make your home more sell-able. Exactly how much of your investment you'll recoup depends on a number of factors, such as the "big picture" housing market, the value of the homes in your neighborhood, when you plan to sell and the exact nature of the improvement. Also, consider that the longer you live in your home after a project is completed, the less likely you are to recoup its value. Just try to convince a potential buyer that Harvest Gold is cutting edge. Below are some examples of a few improvements that usually pay off and some that rarely make a difference (no matter how much you paid for them) when it comes time to sell your home. With just a few basic improvements, your kitchen can practically pay you back with interest! Greene County VA
New paint, wallpaper and flooring are always appreciated; plus, you might even consider sanding, staining or painting worn looking
cabinets. Replacing old cabinet hardware is a low-cost improvement that makes a big difference in appearance. According to Remodeling magazine, the average spent on major kitchen remodeling is around $39,000; refinishing an outdated one averaged $15,000. The full kitchen remodeling recouped 80% of its cost, the more moderate remodeling was valued at 87%. If you're planning to sell your home in a year or two, a fresh coat of a neutral toned paint could make the sale easier. A professional exterior paint job may also recoup close to 75% of its cost. Let's face it we all like things fresh looking.
