There are many things that impact the price of a property, most of them are not under our control. However, there are some things that can increase the price of the house by as much as twenty per cent and are simple and inexpensive.

The obvious ones:

1. Improve the curb appeal.
2. Paint (in neutral colours).
3. Fix all broken items.
4. Remove clutter.
5. Keep it clean, tidy and free from unpleasant odours.

More expensive stuff:

1. Buy new towels and bathroom rugs.
2. Put fresh flowers in the living room and a fruit ball in the kitchen.
3. Update kitchen and bathroom cabinets by replacing all handles and pulls.
4. Get a professional to clean your carpets.

The heavy weight items:  (These will increase the value of your house, but are more expensive and you will  not necessarily be able to recover your costs.  Caution is advised.)

1. Renovate the kitchen.
2. Remodel the bathrooms.
3. Renovate the Master Bedroom.
