1. Listen to Popular Demand
The top three items on millennials' list of home-buying priorities are kitchens, bathrooms and floor plans. Maximize your return on investment with minor upgrades, rather than complete remodels. Spring for new, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a fresh coat of paint and low-maintenance flooring. Update the bathroom with a modern look. Make minor upgrades, if possible, to achieve an open floor plan with flexible, multi-use living space.
2. Get and Stay Organized
Keeping up with your list of chores might not seem like an investment because you don't actually have to spend any money, but creating a calm and inviting space will make your house look like a million bucks. A home that appears pretty automatically gains value in the eyes of potential buyers. If you struggle with organization and styling your home, pay a professional home stager or organizer to help you cut the clutter and create a welcoming space that will be attractive to buyers.
