Clean Home - Increasing the Perceived Value of Your Home

A clean home tends to sell more quickly and for a higher value. Even with a seller's market in the Houston, Katy, and Fulshear Texas communities homes that are clean and well-presented, will sell more quickly and for more money.

Cleaning begins at the curb, make certain the walkway is clean and ideally power washed. A clean and freshly painted or stained front door with new hardware is a plus! From there, once inside, everything should be clean and tidy. Buyers will spend more time in a clean home. Buyers can see themselves living in a clean home. Putting away brooms, mops, and cleaners will also help show off a home. Don't forget the garage, the garage is an extension of the home and should be tidy if you are trying to maximize the price.

A buyer perceives a clean home as being more valuable for several reasons:

1. Move-in ready: A clean home is move-in ready, meaning that the buyer does not have to spend time or money on cleaning or making repairs. This can save the buyer money and make the home more attractive.

2. Well-maintained: A clean home suggests that the property has been well-maintained, which can give buyers peace of mind that they are investing in a property that has been cared for.

3. Better condition: A clean home is likely to be in better condition than a home that is not clean. This can mean that there are fewer maintenance issues that the buyer will need to address after moving in, which can save them money in the long run.

4. More attractive: A clean home is simply more attractive than a home that is dirty or cluttered. This can make the home more appealing to the buyer and make them more likely to make an offer.

Overall, a clean home can create a positive impression and make the buyer more willing to pay a higher price. It signals that the home has been well-maintained and is in good condition, which can be a significant factor in a buyer's decision to make an offer on a property.
