3 Mobile Home Upgrades To Invest In:

Do: Paint

A fresh coat of paint can easily brighten up and revive a room. Try to stick with neutral colors and add pops of color elsewhere, such as throw pillows or artwork. Painting is a relatively low-cost upgrade that can have a big impact.

Plus a fresh coat of paint will cover any dings in the wall, nail holes, etc.

Do: A Kitchen & Bath Facelift

You might have heard that an upgraded kitchen and bathroom are two of the best areas to focus on when upgrading your mobile home. However, you can do some smaller upgrades that will make a big impact without costing a fortune.

New faucets, drawer pulls, and resurfacing your cabinets are affordable ways to revitalize the space. Some appliance manufacturers sell new and alternate-colored faceplates.

For example, swapping out the front of your dishwasher to match the other appliances is a great way to save money and tie things together.

You can take the same principles to give your bathroom a quick makeover. Vinyl tiles can go on the floor, right over what you currently have. Do a deep cleaning of the grout, and re-grout if needed.

Fix any cracked tiles or broken hardware. (Wobbly towel racks, etc.) Another option for a complete shower renovation is to install a pre-fab cover. This is much cheaper than doing a whole shower overhaul.

Do: Landscaping

Planting some flowers out front or covering dirt with a pretty, fast-spreading ground cover will give your mobile home instant curb appeal. If needed, have trees and bushes trimmed and keep the lawn mowed nicely.

Depending on your climate, you can plant succulents or lay down pretty rocks to keep the space well maintained, but low-maintenance.

Maybe throw a fresh coat of paint on the mailbox or hang up a bird feeder and some hanging plants. Small touches and a well-groomed yard will draw anyone in.

3 To Forget About:

Don’t: Finish The Basement

Renovating or fixing up your mobile home before selling can quickly turn into a major project, requiring significant time, money, and effort. While it might seem like a good idea to invest in upgrades to increase the value, statistics show that you’re unlikely to recoup the full cost of those renovations when selling. Instead of taking on a costly remodel, consider a more practical approach.

Most buyers prefer to customize the space to suit their own tastes and lifestyle. For example, one buyer might dream of transforming an unfinished area into a modern game room, while another might envision adding extra bedrooms to accommodate a growing family. By leaving the space as-is, you give buyers the freedom to personalize the mobile home to their liking.

When setting the price for your mobile home, be upfront about any unfinished areas and emphasize that the lower price reflects these features. Highlighting this transparency in your listing can attract buyers who appreciate the opportunity to create their dream space while staying within their budget. Not only does this approach save you the hassle of extensive renovations, but it also positions your mobile home as an affordable, customizable option for potential buyers searching in your area.

Don’t: Add a Patio, Deck, or Pool

Again, this can be very pricey, without much return. If you have an open area, use plants or pavers to tidy up and beautify the space. If the new mobile homeowners want to build a deck, they can do so, but with their tastes and specifications in mind.

Adding a pool can cost a fortune, without providing a huge increase in what you will be able to ask for the mobile home. In addition, a pool may deter buyers.

Prospective buyers with small children may worry about safety and many people may not want to worry about the hassle and upkeep of maintaining their pool.

Don’t: Do A Major Renovation to The Kitchen or Bathrooms

Don’t waste your money with a complete overhaul unless it is necessary due to water or fire damage. The cost does not make sense, especially when mobile homebuyers have their tastes. Many mobile homeowners would prefer a credit to the mobile home price allowing them to upgrade on their terms.

In summary: Don’t over-improve… keep it simple!
