17 DIY picks to prep your home for spring homebuying season
============================================================

Kitchens and bathrooms can get updated with budget fixes
-------------------------------------------------------



Make sure your front door isn't letting you down. (Amazon)

Spring is traditionally the best time to sell a home. The better weather brings buyers out, and it's also an excellent opportunity to showcase your property against a backdrop of beautiful greenery so that it can look its best. If you are planning on listing your home, make sure to take care of any small projects to get it ready.

One place to start is by sprucing up your exterior with splashes of colors and furniture, highlighting its potential. It is one way to grab a buyer's attention and stand out in a more competitive market. Boosting your home's curb appeal can include painting your home's exterior, restaining fences or decks, or power washing walk-ups and siding. Adding new pillows and carpets could also liven up aging patio furniture.

If your kitchen has aged, and a complete redo isn't in your budget, changing the knobs on your cabinets is an easy fix. For the wow factor, you can opt to paint cabinets. In the bathroom, replace old or broken toilet seats with new ones, and consider regrouting your shower or floor tiles if they look dingy or outdated.
