If you wince at the thought of your home’s curb appeal, it might be time to implement some improvement ideas. The exterior of your home is the first impression potential homebuyers will have, so you want to make it positive and inviting.
1. Walk around the outside of your home.
As homeowners, you probably walk from your mailbox to the front door—or from your garage into your home—day in and day out. But homebuyers’ eyes automatically turn to the small details: landscaping, grass, walkways, front entry, lighting, and the exterior appearance of a house for sale. This means you, the seller, must fully walk the circumference of the home and take note of all the areas that need attention.
Stand across the street and look at the big picture of your home’s curb appeal. It’s important to see your home as a prospective homebuyer might see it on his or her first visit. Note landscaping that needs to be trimmed and investigate your mailbox and the sidewalk or driveway leading to your property for cracks, weeds and unsightly debris.
