The first sight any
potential buyer is going to see of your home is the outside. That is why curb
appeal is so important. While every buyer will have a different idea on what
they would like the outside of a house to look like, there are a number of
things that are universal.
Fixing up the exterior and
yard of your home can go a long way towards selling it. To improve your home’s
curb appeal step out to the road, and look at your home. Take note of maintenance
that needs to be done. Ask yourself if the shrubs need to be trimmed or if the
porch railing is in good repair. Here are a few things to check on while
improving curb appeal:
·
Does your home need a fresh coat of paint?
Maybe just the porch or garage? You should at least power wash the outside of
your home. If paint is chipping away it would be a good idea to paint. Make
sure to check the window frames. Often the paint on these will chip before it
will in other places.
·
Cleaning and repairing the gutters as needed
can go a long way to improving the look of the house. When not properly cleaned
leaves and debris can build up in gutters. This will lead to water overflowing
into the yard away from drainage areas, which can stunt grass and leave erosion
marks. The same can happen with damaged gutters.
·
Do your best to keep the grass cut. Tall,
unruly grass can be a turn off to buyers. Try to keep grass height under
control and keep it trimmed away from walkways and driveways.
