Make the First Impression of Your Home’s Exterior Count
When a potential home buyer slows down, then speeds up without a second glance, it might be time to look at your home’s appearance. For not much money, you can spruce up your home, make it more inviting, and bring in more home shoppers.
Before putting your house on the market, step outside and walk down to the street to get a good look at your home and yard. A few areas of your home will probably jump out that need to fixed or spruced up.
Is the outside of your home clean?
Do you see any mold and mildew on the side of your house? What is the condition of your sidewalk and driveway? How old does your fence look? For a few hundred dollars, pressure washing can make your home sparkle like new.
Conrad Lawrence, a pressure cleaner in Florida, likes to walk around a client’s property looking for ways to increase the property’s value. “When we’re pressure washing Jacksonville, Fl homes, we want the client to think like a buyer,” he says. “Once they make that shift, it’s amazing how many areas on their property suddenly need sprucing up.”
Is your landscape colorful?
Add flowers to your landscape to help make your home look bright and colorful. When considering colors, simple colors like yellow can evoke a very welcoming emotion.
Can you see your house number from a distance?
Make your house stand out with clearly read house numbers. Ensure that drivebys can clearly see your house number by painting them or polishing them if made of metal. Keep in mind that the potential home shopper will see many homes during their search. Anything you can do to help the potential home buyer remember even the smallest details of your home will go along way in their decision making.
So take a look at the outside of our home. Think what potential buyers are seeing as they drive by. You’ll want to make sure that the first impression is a positive one. Create a more inviting look to your home’s exterior.
