BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast
Business:Investing
Did you know that a certain shade of paint can help you sell your home for more? Or that one type of countertop could cause buyers to get into a bidding war over your house? What about the one inexpensive outdoor improvement that families LOVE to see when touring homes? Today, we brought on Zillow’s Home Trends Expert, Amanda Pendleton, to share all the secrets to help you sell your home faster and for more!
Amanda’s team at Zillow takes design data to a whole new level. They know which paint colors prospective buyers want to see, the type of pictures you MUST have on your listing, and the cheap upgrades any homeowner can make to get even more bids on their home. In this episode, she’s sharing much of what her team has learned so you can not only sell for more but also learn the tricks sellers are using when you go to buy your next home.
First, Amanda updates us on housing inventory and outlines today’s “typical buyer.” Then we ask, “Is now the right time to sell?” Plus, we’ll get Amanda’s top tweaks to make to your home so you can sell for more. But it’s not just eye-catching upgrades we’re talking about. Amanda also shares the home renovations with the lowest ROI (return on investment) and the one pricey upgrade that is RARELY worth the money.
In This Episode We Cover:
Home renovations that cost less than $5,000 but can BOOST your property value
The free home-selling tweaks you can make that will bring in more buyers
The upgrades that will hurt your home when trying to sell and could be a negative investment
2024’s typical buyer, and exactly what they’re looking for when shopping for homes
A housing inventory update and why we’re slowly starting to see homes come on the market
The one super affordable upgrade anyone can make to their backyard
And So Much More!
