You never get a second chance to make a first impression and that is especially true when selling your home. Homeowners often consider spring as the perfect time to sell their home and making a few improvements on the exterior can help to increase potential buyers interest even before they ever drive up to your home.
Over 90% of buyers utilize the internet in their home search process and having your home ready for outstanding photos can make your home appealing both in person and online. These are a few tips that Susan Brewer Service First Real Estate has prepared to assist you with making your home look its best:
Start with the front door – This is a item that often goes overlooked and is a great way to make your home stand out from the competition. Paint it a rich hue that complements your home or update the hardware. Adding a seasonal wreath is also a way to improve appeal.
Freshen up your mulch and add some color with flowers – Adding mulch is an inexpensive way to make your home stand out. Add some color with some hearty annuals that can withstand the early spring weather (pansies are always a good choice). Adding some pots of flowers to the front porch are a nice touch as well.
You’ve got mail – An often-overlooked item is the mailbox. A fresh coat of paint or new house numbers can make your house stand out.
Power wash your sidewalk and front porch – These are the first items potential buyers will see when they visit your home. Washing off the grime from winter is a a must.
Brighten up the night – Make sure the bulbs in your outdoor lighting are all in working order and turn on any coach lights at night. Potential buyers may drive by after dark and you want your home to show its best at night as well.
A few simple changes this spring may mean the difference between a potential buyer choosing your house or a neighbors’.
