Tip:Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is
the impression people have when approaching your home. It is crucial that this first
impression is positive for potential buyers. If the outside of your home is unappealing chances are they
may just drive by rather than coming in for a viewing.
Spending some
time of the exterior of your home can have a great impact. Here a some simple
ways to create great curb appeal.
Look at the
condition of the paint on window, doors and trim. A fresh coat can make a big difference.
The front door might look very inviting
with new hardware and a punch of colour.
Red, green, blue?
Yards and
gardens should be mowed, weeded and raked at this time of year. Seasonal potted planters are an
affordable way to add colour to the garden. A new layer of mulch will give the soil a rich look. Make sure plants are trimmed and not
hiding any features of your home that you want to highlight.
Clean your
windows, so very important. Not
just from the outside but also inside.
It will allow more light into your home and give a fresh look.
Store away any
yard tools, toys and other clutter around the house. Garbage and re-cycling bins should be placed in a tidy
manner.
Are the
driveway, walkway or siding on the house dirty or stained? A power washer can be used to clean
these.
Evening curb
appeal should also be considered since we are heading into shorter day light
time. Front porch, walkways and
driveways should be well lit to show a homes' features in the evening. Solar light fixtures don't require
wiring and can look attractive in an night time garden.
Since we are
heading into fall and winter, consider taking photos of your home and gardens
while they are still blooming. If
you are selling during the winter you will have some great images to use when
posting your property!
