The Importance of Curb Appeal and Home Value
Does Your Home Have Curb Appeal?
What can you do to the way your home looks from the street to attract potential buyers? Would a bit of touch-up paint add dollars to the sale? What about the garden? Is the lawn in order and neatly edged? Are trees and bushes neatly pruned? Are flowers in bloom? If not, it may be time for a garden upgrade. Adding colorful annuals to the front garden will make a big difference. Remember, creating curb appeal will add dollars to your house's final selling price.
Start with basic home curb appeal tasks:
- Kill mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, or driveway.
- Stow away unnecessary garden implements and tools.
- Clean the windows and gutters.
- Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy decks.
- Keep sidewalks and driveways clean.
- Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation growing between concrete sections and bricks.
- Mow the lawn regularly. Get rid of weeds.
- Rake and dispose of leaves, even if your lot is wooded.
- Trim tree limbs that are near or touching the roof.
- Keep the garage door closed.
Landscaping Decisions
While adding landscaping elements can often help curb appeal, don't forget that removing something can be even more effective.
Spending a few dollars wisely can increase your home sale proceeds.
Cosmetic changes do not have to be expensive. In fact, costly home improvements do not necessarily offer a good return on your investment when you sell. It’s attention to the basics—anything that says “this home has been carefully maintained”—that will help you get the price you want.
- A fresh paint job does wonders for a dingy house.
- How attractive is your front door? Consider replacing it with one that has leaded glass inserts.
- Are there cracks walkways? Does the driveway need resurfacing or repair?
