“They’re for more than parking cars, stacking boxes, and holding trash bins. The garage can help sell your home if you stage it right. Most homeowners might think of staging their kitchens and bedrooms, but the garage is a feature that is playing an increasingly important role.”To increase the appeal of your home here are some garage related tips:
- Entice buyers with a garage that is organized, kept up and shows off its most important features.
- Use walls and ceilings for storage. Consider having one or two loft-type storage areas built into the garage.
- Next, add lighting. It’s relatively inexpensive, but it makes a huge difference in increasing a garage’s appeal. Replacing the single center bulb with a strip of lighting is a fantastic way to spark a buyer’s interest.
- You might also consider coating your floor. A concrete floor in the garage can show off the wrong things, such as those icky, ugly oil stains.
- Make sure your garage door and opener are working quietly. The first automatic garage door openers became commercially used back in the 1950s and if you're is an original, it's time to upgrade!
- Next, finish your walls and ceilings. Many garages are not finished, but if you put up wall board you can complete the look of the garage. Finished sells better.
- Finally, add a coat of fresh paint.
When it comes to selling, a garage should be spacious, organized, and a place where buyers can imagine easily storing their own stuff!Read The Garage Can Help Sell Your Home by Phoebe Chongchua.
