Easy Ideas for Improving Curb Appeal

We’ve all heard of the value of making a good first impression. This expression is especially important to remember when preparing to sell your home. Some features that make for quicker sales include a well-maintained lawn, security system, well-kept patio spaces or decks, and functional outdoor lighting.

A few easy repairs or improvements can also be made and they will pay for themselves. Inexpensive maintenance ideas: weeding the front pathway, laying fresh mulch or pinestraw, pressure washing, cleaning out the gutters, cutting back shrubbery or trees, freshening up the front door with a new coat of paint, and potting colorful seasonal flowers by your home’s entrance. 

Making sure your property “sells” itself from the first moments a buyer sees it is a great use of time and can be a very minimal investment. Curb appeal may even help you get a better price for your property.
