Top Seller Upgrades to Maximize Your Sale

When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. Whether it’s freshening up a room with a new coat of paint or enhancing the kitchen, the right improvements can make all the difference. According to Realtor.com, 47% of homeowners are now spending more than a month preparing their homes for the market. While this time investment often pays off in a faster sale and higher offers, the process can feel overwhelming—and that’s where our “Improve to Move” program comes in.

Top Seller Improvements: What Makes a Difference?

The following are the most common improvements sellers make before listing, based on a recent survey:

1. Paint the Interior of the Home (46%)
   A simple and cost-effective way to transform spaces and make them feel fresh and inviting.
2. Improve the Bathroom (42%)
   Buyers love updated bathrooms, whether it’s modern fixtures, new tile, or extra storage.
3. Improve the Kitchen (38%)
   The kitchen is often the heart of the home, and enhancements here offer some of the best return on investment.
4. Landscape the Yard (35%)
   Curb appeal is key. A well-manicured lawn or garden makes a great first impression.
5. Replace or Repair Carpet or Flooring (28%)
   New or refinished floors can instantly modernize a home’s interior.
6. Paint the Exterior of the Home (28%)
   A fresh exterior paint job not only protects the house but also boosts curb appeal.
7. Replace or Buy New Appliances (26%)
   Updated appliances are a bonus for buyers who want a move-in-ready home.
8. Replace or Repair the Roof (22%)
   A sound roof reassures buyers about the home’s structural integrity.
9. Redecorate House or Specific Rooms (20%)
   Sometimes staging and small décor changes make all the difference.
10. Replace or Buy New Furnishings (19%)
    Modern furniture can help highlight a home’s best features during showings.

These updates can transform a home into a buyer’s dream, but the process often comes with challenges, such as finding reliable contractors, managing budgets, and dealing with disruptions. That’s why The McCarty Group’s Improve to Move program has been a game-changer for so many sellers.
