Here are four budget-friendly upgrades you can make to your home that will not only save you money, but will also help you sell for top dollar in 2019:
1. Add smart home hub systems. Smart home devices that allow remote monitoring and control of your home’s features are a booming industry. Smart home hub systems allow you to control everything from your home’s thermostat to its door locks with nothing but your smartphone or tablet. Smart home devices are in demand for many reasons, but security and energy management are among the most significant. Updating your home to include this technology is guaranteed to attract and impress many buyers, and many of these devices are quite affordable.
2. Change out your cabinet hardware. The kitchen is the heart of the home, so you want yours to look good. A full remodel can be expensive though, but you can give it a fresh look by just replacing old cabinet pulls and knobs. Remember to choose new hardware that suits your home’s style. For example, try adding sleek chrome knobs to accent your home’s modern decor—it won’t even cost you $100.

to paint the entire room to give it a fresh look.”
3. Paint an accent wall. There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to bring a room to life, but you don’t have to paint the entire room to give it a fresh look. Painting just one wall in a contrasting or complementary color will give the room a whole new atmosphere. Be careful to keep that room color neutral, though, so it doesn’t turn off potential buyers.
4. Trade up to keyless entry. How many of us have nearly driven ourselves crazy looking for misplaced keys at the front door? You can end this kind of frustration by installing a keyless entry front door lock—they’re safe, efficient, and made specifically to complement your home. For less than $300, you can purchase a keyless lock complete with an exterior lever handle and touch screen.
