Improve the curb appeal of your home and your home sale will happen faster. First impressions are critical to entice buyers to come and see more.
You can spend a good deal on the landscaping and painting of your home. Before spending large amounts of money, consult with your realtor on what is really necessary. Consider hiring a professional home stager to prepare the outside and inside of your home. Their expertise and advice can result in a quicker home sale at a higher price.
In the meantime, there are several things you can affordably do yourself to increase your curb appeal:
- Make sure your lawn and landscaping are neat and trim. A meticulously-kept yard gives buyers the impression you are just as fussy about your home.
- Power-wash your home. You have years of grime and dirt that has clung to the siding, windows, and roof.
- Spot-paint needed windowsills or trim.
- Paint your front door a new color such as black, red, or blue. Add shiny new hardware and a kick panel.
- Add a pop of color with flower pots on your front porch and flowers at the front of your landscaping.
- Create a new large plaque with tile or painted house numbers to put beside your front door.
