Very simple, curb appeal, cosmetic changes such as painting the front door, changing worn carpeting in front hall and on stairs, often adds more value than cost. Next is the foyer, often overlooked but aside from the Front(Curb Appeal), it's the first and last place a buyer looks when inside the house. Make sure everything from this vantage point is appealing. Kitchen and bathroom remodels generally add to a home's value but contrary to what a lot of people believe, you generally won't get back the amount you put into the remodel, so you should do it for your living enjoyment, rather than for trying to make a profit. At least that way, you'll have the benefit of the pleasure a new kitchen or bathroom offers. Focus on simple items such as fresh neutral paint, updated lighting and electrical switch plates and dimmers.

If you want to sell your home quickly, you'll need to be proactive about facing its faults. Overpricing a home is the number one way sellers sabotage their ability to get the most money for their property. So let's discuss how you can take proactive steps before you list. After all, you want to be in the position to command the highest selling price in your neighborhood.

Reality check 1:

Your kitchen and master bedroom need an upgrade

These rooms can make or break a home, so spending cash makes dollars and sense. The key to upgrading is to keep the finishes in line with other homes in the neighborhood. Simple upgrades like faucets, lighting, cabinet pulls, don't cost a lot and may be enough to give the house a fresh look.

Reality check 2:

Your home is cluttered and it's scaring off buyers

A clean and clutter-free house shows buyers that you take care of your home. If confronted by messy, overstuffed closets, they will start to wonder if you've paid attention to other home maintenance.

Reality check 3:

You need to keep up with the Joneses

Pay attention to the trends in your neighborhood. If most homes have a "bonus space" that your home is lacking, consider finishing a portion of your basement.

Reality check 4:

Your home has problem areas

Replacing worn and outdated flooring can take a home from zero to hero very quickly. The same is true for wallpaper: old and tired wallpaper delivers a negative visual punch and it's a pain to remove. The more tidy and well kept the property, the more justified you can feel in the asking price.

So when looking to sell or buy the Best in Taos or Angel Fire Real Estate check with the ladies at New Mexico Mountain Properties. Are you looking for the perfect home in Angel Fire or Taos,maybe a condo in Taos, close to the plaza or a home or condo close to the slopes in Angel Fire we are the ladies to call on.
