If you are selling your home or plan to sell your home, notice how the outside of your home appears. Remember, most homes purchased were first found and viewed on the internet. Professional photos that display a lovely, eye-catching exterior are essential. Also, those buyers who live close enough will drive by your home after viewing it on the internet to gain a better feel for your home.
To increase the appeal of your house, add curb appeal by following these tips:
- Clean and remove all yard debris.
- Mow the lawn frequently during high-growth periods to ensure it appears well-kept.
- Remove all weeds and put down a layer of mulch to give a finished look to any garden area.
- Paint your front door a fresh coat of paint and replace any worn-looking hardware.
- If there is molding on your siding or chimney, have it cleaned.
- Remove all spider webs and sweep walkways.
- Trim bushes that are blocking window light or look unruly.
- Remove all yard toys and animal droppings.
- Add flowers in pops of red or yellow. Those colors are easily seen from the road and catch the eye.
- Replace your old mailbox and add a fresh coat of paint to the post. Add large house numbers that can be seen from the road.
- Reseal your driveway.
- Add a new welcome mat.
