When you want to sell your home, you can do many things to drive up the HDB resale price without having to spend a whole lot of money on renovations. There are simple steps that can get you more for your home and make it sell quicker once it has been placed on the market.

The exterior of the house is the first impression that the house buyer will have of your house, so you want it to be positive. Tidy up all gardens and fences and paths along with any other area of the outside. If your gardens have been somewhat neglected, then you should liven them up by planting some new bushes and flowers. Ask your local nursery for advice on the best ones to put into your garden on short notice.

In your home the basement and the attic areas tend to be places where we shove things and forget about them forever more. Before selling your house you should de-clutter these areas, ensure that everything is organized and tidy and get rid of the items in these areas that have not been used for some time.

Bathrooms and kitchens tend to be the make or break areas for potential home buyers so it is important to ensure that they look presentable. Make sure that fittings look clean and in good nick. If there are loose tiles or other things that are in need of repair have it done.

Clean all floorings thoroughly so they sparkle: carpets should be cleaned with a dry wet vacuum to get rid of all the dust and dirt that accumulates in them; wooden floors should be polished and tiled areas might need to be re-grouted. The living room should also be repainted since this is one of the most used areas of the house.

Without blowing the budget, set out to add some home decor accents that will freshen up the house. Indoor plants can lighten areas as can lamps. Storage boxes and baskets can be very handy to give clutter the delusion of being organized and tidy.

Once you have done these things, you should take a critical walk around your home to look at it objectively and identify any other areas that you can improve upon without leading to further expense. By simply making small changes to the organization and appearance of your house you can boost its value and have it sold in a shorter period of time.
