4 Condominium Upgrades To Increase Property Value

If you’ve outgrown your current condo and are thinking about putting it up for sale, it may be a good idea to make some upgrades before you officially list it. Even if your property’s flaws don’t bother you, buyers are usually turned off by imperfections like scratched floors and stained walls. So if you want to get top dollar for your condo, it’s worth taking the time to spruce it up. Here are four upgrades that appeal to buyers and will help increase your property’s value. 

4 Condo Upgrades That Increase Property Value

Add Storage Space 

Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves living happily in your condo, which includes picturing where all of their stuff will go. If there isn’t enough closet space for their shoe collection, they may not make an offer on your property. Adding extra cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom is an easy way to increase the amount of storage space in your condo, but don’t be afraid to think outside the box. 

Consider installing a ceiling or wall rack in your kitchen to hold pots and pans. Add open shelving or hooks in the bathroom for extra towel storage. Make the most of a small closet by installing a custom organization system with drawers, shelves, and rods for hanging clothes. These creative storage solutions will make your condo more functional and attractive to buyers. 

Refinish Or Replace Flooring

Between kids and pets, your condo’s flooring has probably taken a beating over the years. If your floors look scratched, stained, or worn down, it may be time to replace them. If you have hardwood floors, you may be able to breathe new life into them by refinishing them. A carpet cleaner can do wonders on a stained carpet, as can cleaning the grout on your floor tiles. 

However, some flooring is too far gone to be saved, so be honest with yourself about the state of your floors. Although installing new carpet or tile throughout your home can be costly, your investment will likely pay off and help you sell your condo for a higher price. 

Replace Outdated Lighting 

Dim light fixtures can make your entire condo seem dark and cramped. Upgrading the lighting is a simple, affordable fix that can make your condo look bigger, brighter, and more modern. Avoid light fixtures that are hard to clean like crystal chandeliers and go for contemporary options that will appeal to buyers like pendant lights with smart bulbs. 

According to a recent survey, 63% of Singaporeans said they’d be willing to spend $30,000 to $40,000 to outfit their condo with smart home technology. So installing smart tech like WiFi-enabled light bulbs could help your property fetch a higher sale price. 

Refresh The Kitchen 

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s an important feature for most buyers. If your kitchen is a bit outdated, you don’t have to rip everything out and start over. You can modernize your kitchen on a budget by making small changes like:

• Repainting or refacing the cabinets
• Updating the backsplash
• Switching out the cabinet handles
• Replacing the faucet

Hiring a maid to do a deep clean can also make your kitchen look fresher and newer.
