Simple Steps to Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal

The summer months are finally here and many people are gearing up to sell their homes. We have been getting a lot of questions about curb appeal. Curb appeal is the way your home looks from the outside, or at the curb, when prospective buyers show up. This is their first impression of your home and it's important for it to be a good one. We have compiled a list of 10 simple fixes that will boost your curb appeal- for under $100.

1. Replace exterior light fixtures
 An easy way to give your front porch and entry way a new look is with new light fixtures. You can get these at any home improvement store for anywhere from $30-$100

2. Install some in-ground lighting
 Nothing brightens up your curb appeal like lighting near your walkway or flowerbed. 

3. Trim overgrowth and weeds
 This is an easy and cheap fix that will make your plants appear greener and more vibrant. It will also help keep your lawn healthy

4. Plant some flowers
 If you already have a garden, that is great. If not, this is an easy, inexpensive way to add some color to your curb appeal

5. Spread some fertilizer
 Another way to add color in your lawn and flowerbed, fertilizer will give your yard a more vibrant look

6. Fasten any loose trim or boards
 Take a walk around your property to check if you have any loose trim or boards. Simply refasten and paint to match if you find anything out of the ordinary

7. Paint your trim
 The trim around your roof line, windows, and front door gives your home color. Pick a color that contrasts the color of your house so that it will stand out among the paint that is already there.

8.Paint your front door
 This is your chance to be creative. Pick something vibrant that contrasts the other colors of your home. This is the first thing that buyers eyes will gravitate towards when looking at your home

9. Paint your front door
 Nothing says welcome home like a shiny, new door handle. These are very inexpensive and add a touch of class to your home.

10. Switch your address numbers out
 This is an inexpensive and easy way to make your home stand out. It is as simple as picking a style you like and applying them to your house to make it pop.

If you follow these 10 tips, you will have great curb appeal this summer and buyers will be itching to enter to see the rest of your beautiful home. If you have any questions about curb appeal or this market, which is currently advantageous for both buyers and sellers, give us a call!
