Curb Appeal – What does your home say?
If your home could talk, what would it say to potential homebuyers?
Now that spring is on the horizon, it is a great time to consider how to improve your home’s curb appeal. Whether to simply improve the look and feel of the exterior for your own personal enjoyment or to assist in the sale of your home, first impressions are important.
According to the National Association of REALTORS®, “these days, 70 percent of home buyers get their first look at a house from a picture on the internet”. For homebuyers on paranych.com, this is particularly true, as our website offers full MLS access to all Edmonton and Area homes.
Wondering how you can become the envy of the block? Consider trying one or all of these 10 tips:
- Keep the lawn trim and plush – Remember to thoroughly water your lawn on a weekly basis and to treat your weed/pest problems as quickly as possible.
- Light It Up! - Make sure all existing fixtures have lights that work or perhaps consider replacing outdated fixtures with new ones.
- Planting beds should have plants in them – Think colour, utilize focal points and group your plants together.
- Keep shrubs and bushes – trim and neat.
- Define a clear path from the curb to the front of the house - Perhaps, try stones or other materials that complement your home
- Enhance your home with a punch of colour – Consider your homes color palette. What color would be best for the trim, the door and the overall appearance?
- Clutter Be Gone – Make sure clutter is non-existent as it distracts from the overall appearance.
- How is your roof doing? – Make sure that shingles are in their proper places and in good condition.
- Keep it clean – Make sure to power wash all windows, doors and surfaces to maintain a positive impression.
- Relax - Sit back and enjoy your home’s beauty or get ready to sell by calling for a Free Market Evaluation.
