4 Big Design Mistakes to Avoid When You’re Selling Your Home in Lake City

When you’re selling your home in Lake City, your Realtor® will walk through and identify areas that buyers won’t want to see – but you can get a head start by identifying problem spots in your home before you even put it on the market.

Design mistakes can turn off buyers and send them running for the door. These are four big mistakes you have to avoid if you want to sell.

#1: Popcorn Ceilings

Get rid of popcorn ceilings. Buyers don’t want them (they’re very dated), and when you remove them, you could uncover serious issues with the ceiling – or even the roof.

#2: Wall-to-Wall Carpet

Buyers don’t want wall-to-wall carpet. If they must have carpet, it needs to be new(ish) – but usually, buyers want tile, laminate or hardwood.

#3: Obnoxious Wallpaper

You might not think your wallpaper is obnoxious, but buyers almost certainly will. Take it down and paint the walls a neutral color.

#4: Clutter

Clean your house and declutter it completely before you put it on the market. If it looks cluttered, it looks small – and buyers want at least the illusion of ample space.
