Thinking about selling? Certain things can quietly destroy your home’s value, without you even realizing it. If you’re planning to list your home, avoid these value-killers at all costs.

# 1: Neglecting Small Repairs:

A leaky faucet, worn-out carpets, or peeling paint might seem minor—but to buyers, they signal bigger problems. Buyers assume if the little things aren’t maintained, neither are the big things.

How to fix/prevent it: 

• Take care of small repairs.
• Touch up paint.
• Replace anything outdated.

A little effort goes a long way.

#2: Over-Personalized Spaces:

Bold colours, themed rooms, and unique design choices may feel like home to you, but buyers want to imagine their own life in the space.

How to fix/prevent it: 

• Stick to neutral tones.
• Declutter to create a blank canvas for buyers.

#3: Ignoring Curb Appeal:

First impressions matter. If the exterior of your home looks neglected, buyers may not even step inside.

How to fix/prevent it: 

• A fresh coat of paint. 
• Modern house numbers
• Well-maintained landscaping. 

This can all instantly boost curb appeal.
