Showcase The Bathroom In Your Home For Sale

A bathroom renovation is one of the best things you can do to help sell your Central Ohio home. But, remodeling a bathroom is an expensive project, and in today's market it is not likely that the return will be worth the investment. As a realtor I am always open to looking for budget friendly ways that I can help my seller boost the bottom line. So, here are a few inexpensive changes that can be made to spruce up the bathroom in your Central Ohio Home:

Paint
A fresh coat of paint is a good way to improve the overall look of the bathroom. Choose paints in a light, neutral color to make the room seem more spacious.

Fixtures
Most buyers will notice if the fixtures in the bathroom are old, and it can have a negative effect on their view of the home. Buy a set of bathroom fixtures at a home improvement store. Most stores have matching towel racks and bathroom tissue holders, too. There is a good selection of stainless steel, wood or ceramic fixtures available at most stores.


Floors
If your bathroom floor has tiles, it’s a good idea to add fresh grout to brighten it up or at least clean the grout so it looks new. Scratched and or damaged linoleum will need to be replaced. You can buy rather inexpensive flooring that is easy to install in a variety of patterns and colors. Look for remnants.

De-Clutter
You want the prospective buyers to be able to imagine themselves living in your home. It’s easier for them to do that if your home is free of clutter. This is even true in the bathroom.
Clear out your medicine cabinet. (Yes, many buyers will look in there.) Leave only essentials like toothpaste and hairbrushes. Don’t forget to de-clutter and organize under the sink.

Clean
Nothing is a bigger turn off to prospective buyers than a dirty bathroom. A little time and elbow grease will yield big returns.

Making a good impression on buyers can be easier when you’ve redone your bathroom. You really don’t have to spend a lot of money to increase the value of your Central Ohio home for sale.
