Bryan College Station is one of the few really great college towns that not only offers the fun but also the peaceful living that many families quite enjoy. Home of Texas A&M University, this town has seen home sales and prices on the rise since the housing market crash of 2008. Selling homes here can be fun and quite lucrative as this picturesque city is a haven for those wishing to enjoy good city life with country living qualities. Here are a few good home maintenance tips to ensure you home gets good views and perhaps even a great sale price.

•      On the outside of the home, a good power washing from time to time really helps; especially with brick homes which dull with time. This will brighten up the reds and grays and really make darker bricks bolder. This makes the home look newer and really brightens up in pictures. Take care to also clean rain gutters and awnings of all debris as this is also aesthetically pleasing.

•     Landscaping is important as this really gives look and shape to the home. Although you may consider adding shrubbery and flowers, you may only need to keep the existing plants and lawn well groomed and free of weeds and overgrowth. Make sure lines separating the sidewalks and driveways from the lawn are clean and straight. This gives symmetry to the front and rear of the home and gives them a fresh look.

•       Any outside wooden surfaces will need sanding and a fresh coat of paint. Replacing wooden shutters with vinyl is also just as easy of an option.

Most potential homebuyers often make assumptions about the quality of a home before even stepping inside. A few good maintenance steps to keep the outside looking fresh will give customers good reason to step inside.
