It’s tricky to know which home repairs and renovations will help your home sell like a hot cake. While there are a variety of trends, such as adding hard wood floors or granite countertops, that can pique a buyer’s interest, there are a number of home design trends that are so last year. Here is a list of features that buyers are shunning in resale homes in Pebblecreek. Brass Hardware It was all the rage in the 1980s and early 1990s, but if you’re considering selling your home in 2016 and your kitchen cabinets or bathroom cabinetry is outfitted with brass hardware, you may want to make a quick trip to the big box home store and invest in upgraded hardware. Fortunately, replacing hardware in your kitchen or bathroom is one of the easiest fixes. New hardware can immediately take the look of your cabinetry from so last year to modern style. Kitchen Desks These outdated relics were added to kitchens in homes built in the last decades of the 20th Century. They seemed like a good idea at the time. Built directly into the kitchen countertop space, the desks were an ideal place to make phone calls, and store bills and phone books. Now that phone books and landline telephones, and paper bills mailed to the house are a thing of the past, so too are kitchen desks. If you have extra space in the kitchen, use it for counter and cabinetry. Television in the Bedroom Thanks to personal electronic devices like cellphones and tablets, there’s no need to waste valuable design space on a giant television set on the bedroom wall – not to mention messy wires running through the walls or worse, hanging out in the open. Add to these things the fact that experts believe televisions in the bedroom lead to poorer sleep, better conversation, and better couple time. If you’re looking to sell your home in the near future, ditching the bedroom televisions may do more than help you sell your home quickly. Consider upgrading the appeal of your bedrooms by eliminating TVs and adding book shelf space, dramatic mirrors or a pop of color. Chevron Prints Rugs, pillows, window treatments, wallpaper, and bedding in chevron prints were all the rage. So much so, that the trend of the inverted ‘v’ pattern is overused and over saturated. Luckily, if you’re looking to give your home a clean, modern look, it’s simple and affordable to replace pillows, rugs, and bedding. One key to selling your home is ensuring it is a welcoming space that’s just unique enough that it doesn’t look like every other house on the market. Drenching a room in chevron is a sure way to make your home resemble other available homes. Whirlpool Tubs Relaxing though they are, they are also a waste of prime home real estate. Replace your whirlpool tub with a roomier shower with fancy amenities like a rainwater showerhead or a marble bench. If you already have a spa-ready shower, you can replace a whirlpool tub with additional vanity or closet space. Either is likely to see more use and be of greater appeal to potential home buyers. Tile Countertops They’re over. Tiled countertops are a delight to look at, but they’re a monster to clean. This you know if you have tiled countertops in your home. Cleaning that grout is a nightmare, and most potential homeowners will recognize the struggle when they see your tile countertops. If you’re considering selling your home in the near future, you have a lot to consider. It may be time to refresh your home by updating its few remaining remnants of yesterday. As a seller, you’ll be competing with lots of resale homes in Pebblecreek, and making yours standout will help you get top dollar for your home.
