Ugly Home Features Buyers Can’t Overlook<\/h1>\n

Ugly Home Features Buyers Can’t Overlook<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Home shoppers can get hung up on cosmetic issues of a home, even though often times the problems are relatively inexpensive to fix.<\/p>\n

\u201cCosmetic issues are a big problem for a lot of home buyers,\u201d Linda Sanderfoot, a real estate professional with Coldwell Banker in Neenah, Wis., told realtor.com\u00ae in a recent article.<\/p>\n

Buyers can easily get distracted by flaws or minor repairs, like the carpet or dated light fixtures. They may even let a sale fall apart because of it.<\/p>\n

Realtor.com\u00ae recently featured several potential home features that may jeopardize a deal, but really shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Ugly kitchen cabinets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, the average kitchen remodel could set you back up to $62,158, according to Remodeling magazine. But most kitchens don\u2019t require a full renovation. \u201cAs long as the cabinets aren\u2019t 20 or 30 years old, repainting and adding new handles is relatively cheap and can change the entire look of the room,\u201d says Sanderfoot. Refinishing an existing cabinet will cost about $1,400 to $3,500, according to HomeAdvisor, a home services marketplace.<\/p>\n

Wallpaper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wallpaper covering the rooms may make some buyers want to run. But removing and hanging wallpaper is a relatively easy DIY job. Or, hiring a contractor for professional wallpaper installation costs about $500 per room, according to HomeAdvisor.<\/p>\n

Tacky paint colors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bubble-gum pink, anyone? Try to help buyers overlook distracting colorful walls. Have them imagine it painted a color to make the room even look larger, like gray or a cool blue. After all, paint tends to be an easy fix, either as a do-it-yourself job or done professionally. Professional painters typically cost from $380 to $790 for a 120-square foot room.<\/p>\n

Carpet<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBuyers always focus on\u00a0old or dirty carpeting,\u201d says Sanderfoot. But a good cleaning can bring new life to worn carpet. Shampoo vacuums cost $90 to $200, a professional-grade carpet cleaner can cost $400, or you can rent one from a hardware store for about $25 to $30 per day. Professional carpet cleaning companies tend to charge a minimum of $75 to $109, according to CostHelper.com. For home purchasers who just can\u2019t get past the carpet, they may want to budget for installing new carpet at about $2 to $5 per square foot for middle-grade carpet material, according to HomeAdvisor (often 1,200 square foot of new carpet will cost about $2,400 to $6,000).<\/p>\n
