Update, Replace and Beautify.
Before putting your mobile home on the market, take time to update it to attract the highest possible dollar amount. Increasing the value of your mobile home for re-sale is an easy task if you take the time to update and beautify your property.
Update
Remove old carpeting and replace with contemporary carpeting, hardwood floors or ceramic tile. Take down any outdated wall borders. Fill in the grooves of dark-panel walls and prime the paneling until all traces of wood have disappeared. Then, paint the walls in light, contemporary colors. Do not add borders or any faux finishes if you intend to sell your mobile home right away, since your tastes might not coincide with your prospective new owners' tastes.
Replace
Replace old kitchen appliances with new appliances. Focus especially on the stove and refrigerator. Stainless steel styles instantly update a kitchen and will naturally blend well with any prospective buyers' own furnishings. Replace old sinks, sink fixtures and drawer knobs throughout the house.
Add curb appeal
Landscaping can transform your mobile home from hideous to fabulous virtually overnight. Remove or paint outdated planters and yard decorations. Create updated flower beds with colorful flowers. Plant herbs or other aromatic flowers in front window boxes. Consider adding a new fence or painting your existing one to tie in your new look.
Major improvements
Install a central air and heating system or have a permanent foundation installed by a qualified, professional contractor to significantly increase the value of your mobile home.
