8 Inexpensive Ways to Increase Your Home’s Value

8 Inexpensive Ways to Increase Your Home’s Value



1. Cleaning and decluttering ($290 cost / $1,990 price increase / 586% ROI)
2. Landscaping ($540 cost / $1,932 price increase / 258% ROI)
3. Repairing electrical or plumbing ($535 cost / $1,505 price increase / 181% ROI)
4. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades ($1,265 cost / $3,435 price increase / 172% ROI)
5. Replace or shampoo carpets ($647 cost / $1,730 price increase / 169% ROI)
6. Paint interior ($1,012 cost / $2,112 price increase / 109% ROI)
7. Repair floors ($931 cost / $1,924 price increase /107% ROI)
8. Paint exterior ($1,467 cost / $2,222 price increase / 51% ROI)



Full disclosure, I received the above list from another Real Estate agent. I don’t know where she got the numbers from but they all look about right to me.

1. Cleaning and decluttering really doesn’t have to cost you anything, unless you are hiring a cleaning team and getting additional storage. If you are decluttering and cleaning this can be a zero cost item and it will have the biggest impact and will give you the highest return. 


2. Same if landscaping, if you have somewhat of a green thumb then go to Lowes or home depot and buy some nice flower pots, mulch and anything else that can give your home curb appeal.

3. Repairing electrical or plumbing for this you will most likely hire a professional, but you can replace and making sure all light bulbs are working.


4. Small kitchen and bathroom upgrades will go a long way. You can upgrade flooring very easily, paint will go a long way too. 


5. Clean carpets, this will go a long way. 


6. Paint will make your home look great. Neutral paint this is. Paint yourself or hire a professional but this doesn’t have to break the bank either. 


7. Repair Floors, I have an excellent flooring guy that you should contact. 


8. Paint the exterior, especially your front door, again this doesn’t have to break the bank and will have a great impact.

Common Mistakes When Selling Homes for Sale in Woodbridge VA

Common Mistakes When Selling Homes for Sale in Woodbridge VA 




You are thinking about selling your Woodbridge VA area home, be sure you are not making any of these common mistakes.

Don’t get emotionally involved
When selling your home there are lots of emotions involved. Don’t let these emotions get to you. Home buyers visiting your home might not only have good things to say about the home, don’t let it get to you. You probably put a lot of effort, sweat and tears into a particular project and buyers may not see it the same way as you do.

Don’t get ahead of yourself
Don’t sell before the home is ready, it can cost you big. Make sure your home is ready by the time it hits the market. Actually even before it hits the market. When pictures are taken you need to make sure your home shows in the best light. 


Don’t hire the wrong Agent 
When thinking about selling your Woodbridge VA Home you need to make sure you hire the right Woodbridge VA Real Estate Agent. You need to make sure you work with someone that is familiar with the Woodbridge VA Real Estate market. Hiring one of the best Woodbridge VA Real Estate Agents will pay out. 


Don’t hide anything
A home buyer will be conducting a home inspection. So hiding any defects really doesn’t help. Make sure you are addressing any issues prior to putting your home on the market. It will be much cheaper that way then having to fix issues after a home inspection. Also if the home inspector discovers something major the buyer might get cold feet and walks away from the transaction all together. Addressing issues way before you list your home is always an excellent idea.

Don’t go crazy with upgrades
One of the worst mistakes a home owner can make is over improving a home and expecting a return for it. If all of the homes in your neighborhood are 4 bedroom homes with 2 full bathrooms and your home is a 10 bedroom home you probably put on too big of an addition for you to recuperate the money you put in.

Over the past couple of weeks me and many of my Woodbridge VA Real Estate friends have been busy meeting with home owners that are thinking about selling their homes in the spring time. My advice to everyone is with all these sellers getting ready to put their homes on the market try to getting a head start and put your home on the market now. The market is definitely heating up, with interest rates again approaching historic lows. Buyers are out and about looking for homes, despite the cold temperatures. There is already a good amount of homes for sale in the area and with all these local home owners preparing their homes for sale, I am expecting a busy but also a competitive spring Real Estate market.

Make sure you set yourself apart from all the other home sellers. Talk to local Real Estate Agent on what you should and shouldn’t do to getting your home ready. It is important to having a leg up on the competition and it definitely pays to working with a top local Real Estate Agent.

What is my Woodbridge VA Home Worth?


Let’s begin with this direct statement:
I do not decide how much your home is worth – and neither do you.
The market does!


What a buyer is willing to pay for your home that what your home is worth. The market tells us exactly where to price your property to sell and how to approach the marketing of your
property. Here are the factors that will affect the value of your home in today’s market:

Price
 
Pricing your home properly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.
 
Location 
Location is the single most important factor in determining the value of your property.
 
Condition 
The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, fi rst impressions are important. We’ll work with you to optimize the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.
 
Competition 
Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the price – to the other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value, based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area. 
 
Timing 
Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.

Are you curious to find out how much your Woodbridge VA Home could sell for in today’s Real Estate Market. You can find out here what your Woodbridge VA Home is worth.

You can find a  few quick tips to preparing your home for success. Stand out from the competition. The better your home shows the quicker it will sell. Also keep in mind LESS is more when getting your home ready. What do I mean by less is more. Get rid of as much clutter, clunky furniture and more. Your home will show so much better and more important it will look much larger too.

Woodbridge VA One of A Kind Holiday Light Show

Woodbridge VA 
One of A Kind Holiday Light Show 

Every year again the home owner at 15615 Bushey Drive off Cardinal Drive put up a wonderful holiday light show in Woodbridge VA. When I went there the other day Santa handed out candy canes and it was all around a great time. The lights are simply great.

Just watch the video as we drive through the North Pole display. When I got there spontaneously the other night there were so many visitors. There was a long line of cars waiting to drive through to see the lights. This is a really great thing to go visit with your kids or simply take your partner on a date night. It is a lovely display.

It seems like every year I go to see the Holiday Light show at 15615 Bushey Drive they are outdoing themselves from the previous season. Just watch the video to see for yourself, but please know the video doesn’t do this great display justice. You have to actually see it in person to get the full pictures. It is so much better in person. 


Here is another Woodbridge VA Holiday Light Show must see. I did a blog about this one recently and took a video and also added holiday music. Click here to see my previous blog. 


I also took pictures of Holiday Light Decorations as seen on my way home. Check out the pictures I took right here

Moving to the Woodbrige VA Area over the Holidays?

Moving to the Woodbrige VA Area over the Holidays? by Claudia S. Nelson with Keller Williams Realty in Woodbridge VA

Did you receive orders and your scheduled to move over the holidays? Did you get a new job in the Washington DC area and you are trying to find that perfect commuter home over the holidays?

Some of you might be thinking, worst time of the year to be moving. The contrary is true. This time of the year is actually the best time to move. There are great deals out there to be found and you can take advantage of the fact that.

No I do admit moving while everyone else is celebrating the holidays and exchanging gifts isn’t something for everyone, but just imagine you are giving yourself the greatest gift of all a NEW Home.

Woodbridge VA is conveniently located close to several military facilities including Quanitco, Fort Belvoir, The Pentagon and more. Also Woodbridge VA makes a great commuter location for anyone working in Washington DC, Tysons Corner or other places in Northern Virginia.

If you are one of the lucky ones that will be house hunting or moving over the holidays you got yourself the perfect Holiday Gift.
