Even if you're not actively looking to sell your mobile home, here are some of the best mobile home upgrades to increase value and make you feel good about the look and feel of your home.
Landscaping Is Key
The best possible curb appeal is a freshly planted bed of flowers or lush green grass. Adding character through landscaping will instantly draw the buyer’s eye. When choosing landscaping materials for a mobile home park setting, space is limited, so stick with basics like small bushes or dwarf trees that won't require too much care over time.
Fresh Exterior Paint
Painting a home isn't easy. You could take on this project yourself or hire a professional; either way, it's one of the best upgrades you can make. The first step is to choose a color. Though the paint is available in so many different shades, some better than others, warm-toned shades will increase the value of your home and have an easier time selling.
Updated Light Fixtures
If your mobile home looks a little outdated, installing new light fixtures is one of the most accessible and inexpensive ways to upgrade it.
When selecting a light fixture, you need to ensure that safety comes first. Carefully consider your choice of fixture based on whether it will match the style of your home. Once you've chosen a new fixture for your mobile home, determine if installation is something you can handle yourself, or if it's best left to an electrician.
New Front Door and Storm Door
Your front door is the first thing people see when they visit your mobile home. This means that you need a front door that is attractive, secure, and energy-efficient.
If you are worried about security, consider installing a steel or fiberglass door rather than a wooden one. You'll also want to ensure your new door has a sturdy frame; steel frames are usually the best choice for securing doors.
Some people choose to add a storm door to provide additional weatherproofing for your home and allow more natural light into your home during the day, thanks to their glass panels.
If you're thinking about selling your mobile home, here are the best mobile home upgrades to increase value before you put your home on the market:
Replace old flooring with vinyl plank flooring
Buy new appliances
Add or update the lighting
Add baseboards around doors and windows
Making these simple changes will go a long way!
