1. Declutter and Depersonalize your Home

One of the first things potential buyers notice is how spacious your home is. Decluttering not only makes your home seem larger, but it also allows buyers to imagine their belongings in the space. Furthermore, depersonalizing your home – removing family photos, personal collectibles, etc. – can make it easier for buyers to visualize it as their own.

2. Do Necessary Repairs and Home Improvements

Before putting your home on the market, make sure it's in top-notch condition. Repair any leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or chipped paint. Consider slight upgrades, such as refacing kitchen cabinets or updating bathroom fixtures, to enhance its appeal.

3. Thoroughly Clean your Home

The Heart of Your Home

The kitchen is often where more than just cooking and eating happens. It's where conversation begins and decisions are made, usually over a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a cold drink. Life happens in this space, and it is because of this that how your kitchen looks and feels matters.

I came across an article in Woodshop News a few weeks ago that shared that White is still the most popular color for kitchen cabinets. It further said that Black and Dark Gray are in hot pursuit. Of late, the alternative to offset the white cabinets has been to paint or stain an island in dark green, blue, gray, or black. For years, matte black or oiled bronze hardware was the standard. Now gold and gaudy are the trend, along with chrome.

Here in Central Oregon, the idea of Short Term Rentals is usually in the conversation, when we talk about real estate and moving into the area. There is no question, renting a place for “seasonal use” has soared and is quite lucrative. Having that cash flow and earning equity can certainly be more than an enticement. Before you make the “jump” into this business, consider the following.

Property Damage - Yours and others. 

Depending on the type of property you are renting, damage and liability could be on a small or larger scale. A guest could back into your fence with their car, knocking it over? This would be far less costly, than if your rental was a condo on the 2nd or 3rd floor, and a guest left the water running which flooded your unit, and…

I look at a lot of houses, daily. If you too have been looking at houses lately, either comparing what you have now with what is for sale, or looking for that next house, you have certainly noticed the trend of “white washing” every room. As with any trend or fad, this pattern will likely run its course and we will once again find color on the walls. In the meantime, this trend is what the market expects, and you should too. 

If you are preparing to sell your home, the color palette you need to embrace is white. And within this embrace, you are practicing “letting go” and in doing so, it should matter more that the colors are appealing to the buyer’s than your own preference. 

Not every bit of color needs to be banished, which should bring some joy…
