Tips For Spring Spruce-Ups
|
ACCENT YOUR ENTRYWAY. Before homebuyers even come into your home, they'll be greeted by the front door. Think of the entryway as a perfect chance to make a good first impression. To accent your entryway, you can install a new door(or paint your existing door), buy a new light fixture, install a new lockset and kickplate, or buy new house numbers. You can also plant colorful annuals in the beds beside your entryway.
ADD POTTED PLANTS. Place colorful flowerpots on your front porch and pack them with colorful annuals and greenery .
KEEP YOUR LAWN AND YARD IMPECCABLE. Keep your lawn looking its best. Edge the sidewalks, trim branches that are near your roof, prune hedges, rake and dispose of leaves.
ADD A FRESH LAYER OF MULCH. A tidy landscape indicates a home that is well cared for.
INSTALL A NEW MAILBOX. If your mailbox is old and faded, take the time to replace it. This key exterior update will not go unnoticed by potential buyers.
REFRESH YOUR DECK. You want potential buyers to visualize themselves enjoying your home's outdoor spaces.
CLEAN AND REPAIR GUTTERS. Keep your gutters in good repair and debris-free.
CLEAN WINDOWS, INSIDE AND OUT. Taking the time to clean your windows will not only impact your home's external appearance, but will let in more sunlight, so that every room will feel more bright and spacious.
REPAIR OR REPLACE WINDOW SCREENS. Screens are easy and inexpensive to fix with a few simple tools. And the end result can really boost your home's curb appeal.
POWER WASH OR IF NECESSARY, REPAINT THE EXTERIOR. A clean bright exterior appeals to buyers on an emotional level and tells them that your home is well-maintained. Power washing your home's exterior will help you get rid of dirt, stains mold, and mildew on your home's siding, sidewalks, deck and driveway.
Really take a look at your home like you're looking at it for the first time. Let your eyes check out the areas that you sometimes overlook. Little things make a big difference and sometimes the littlest change is all it takes to impress that potential buyer. In the end you'll be glad you did!
