Here’s the biggest mistake sellers make and how to avoid it.

By far, the number one mistake I see sellers make is overinvesting in financial upgrades they don’t need. 

Why is this a mistake? For starters, we are in a great market for sellers. This means you don’t have to bend over backward to sell your home. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t upgrade your home; just keep it cheap. 

Some great ways to upgrade your home without breaking the bank include doing a fresh coat of paint or staining your deck. These upgrades increase your curb appeal at a reasonable price. 

If you insist on doing upgrades like new countertops, I encourage you to at least enjoy them for a few years before selling. If you’re making a ton of upgrades just to sell your home in this market, you could be making a mistake.
