Affordable Home Selling Tips: 3 Simple Hacks to Boost Your Home’s Appeal

by Khozaif Merali

1. Declutter and Organize

Simple Steps to Declutter:

  • Use What You Have: Gather any empty boxes or bins around the house for temporary storage.
  • Keep Only Essentials in Each Room: Walk through each room and ask yourself, "Do I really need this item here?" Remove anything non-essential.
  • Label Boxes for Easy Retrieval: Mark boxes like “Living Room Decor” or “Kitchen Extras” so you can unpack easily later.
  • Cheap Storage Options: Check your local dollar store for baskets and bins to keep visible areas neat.

Total Cost Estimate: $10–$20 for basic storage bins if you don’t already have them.


2. Add a Pop of Color

Affordable Ways to Add Color:

  • Paint an Accent Wall: Grab a sample-sized paint can, which usually costs around $5, and choose a single wall to paint. A small wall will require less paint but make a big impact.
  • Buy Colorful Throw Pillows: Look for throw pillows on sale or check thrift stores; they usually cost $5–$10 each and instantly brighten up a room.
  • Update the Front Door: A small can of outdoor paint is around $10. Choose a classic, inviting color like navy or red, and give your door a fresh coat.

Total Cost Estimate: $20–$40, depending on the items you choose.


3. Give Your Kitchen a Quick Facelift

DIY Kitchen Update Ideas:

  • Swap Out Hardware: Find affordable cabinet handles or drawer pulls at stores like Home Depot, Amazon, or thrift shops. Many options cost just $1–$2 per handle.
  • Add Peel-and-Stick Lights: Under-cabinet LED strip lights can be bought online for around $10. They’re easy to install and add a professional-looking glow.
  • Paint Cabinets or Clean Them Up: If painting sounds like too much, give your cabinets a good cleaning with a mix of mild soap and water. If you’d like to paint, a small can of cabinet paint typically costs around $15.

Total Cost Estimate: $20–$50 for basic updates, depending on your choices.
