If you are looking at selling your home after the New Year then you need to start thinking about what you may need to do to it in order to get the most money possible. You also need to think about how quickly you need to sell your home. If for example you already have your eye on another property then you may need to sell it as quickly as possible. If you are not too worried about moving straight away then you may not be in any rush and be happy to hold out for more money. When making changes to your home sometimes it is not going to add any value to it but it may make it more attractive to buyers. For example. Painting over bold colours in your room and making it more of a plain magnolia colour may make it easier to sell as first impressions count for a lot and people like to have a blank canvas to work with. They can then easily imagine themselves moving straight in whereas if you have décor that is not to everyone’s taste, you may put some people off and they may decide to go with another property.
