Strategic Home Improvements That Deliver Results in Austin’s 78702

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a smart plan come to life—and pay off for our sellers. In this case, a thoughtful $11,000 investment helped our client go under contract at the full listing price of $595,000 in just six days.

That’s a big deal when you consider that the average days on market in 78702 this year has been 57 days. Our approach? Focus on the updates that actually move the needle in that specific neighborhood—and skip the ones that won’t.

This home had a few quirks, including a kitchen where the refrigerator was located in another room. Instead of trying to fully reconfigure the space, we leaned into a targeted strategy—one that balanced preparation with market expectations. We knew the setup might be a hurdle for some buyers, so we adjusted accordingly and priced with intention.

Our Strategic Home Improvement Plan is never one-size-fits-all. It’s based on the home, the seller’s goals, the neighborhood, and what the data tells us will make the biggest impact.

We’re so grateful for the trust our seller placed in us and thrilled to have helped him move on to his next chapter with a smooth, successful sale.

Thinking about selling your home in Austin? Let’s create a plan that works for you. Reach out anytime to set up a time to talk.
