Just a few changes can make all the difference. After addressing some glaring issues with design and appearance, this Arlington home sold for $115,000 more than the original as-is price.

Polished Arlington Refresh

A few quick updates were all this luxury townhouse needed to boost its sales price. Before the Curbio team in Arlington and the Long and Foster listing agent got to work, the home was being dragged down by unsightly wallpaper, chipped paint, and an out-of-style kitchen. If these features didn’t have potential buyers running for the hills, they certainly could have kept buyers from making a good offer.  

Once these issues were all addressed, the home sold for over $100,000 more, and the homeowner saw almost a $70,000 return after project costs were subtracted. This project proves that by just taking care of a few glaring problems, homes can significantly boost their resale value.

Often hallways are ignored when it comes to pre-listing updates, but a few simple changes helped the whole upstairs shine. Along with painting the built-in shelving, wainscoting, ceilings, and trim, we also made some lighting updates to add some brightness.
