During the warmer months, curb appeal becomes even more important when selling a home. Here are a few things that you can do on a budget to help your home’s exterior show its best to potential buyers:
.
Paint Existing Light Fixtures – If your front porch light still functions well, but just needs a little help with its appearance consider spray painting it with a paint designed for outdoor use. While you have the paint out, consider freshening up your mailbox as well.
.
Change Your Digits – If your current house numbers leave a little to be desired in the style department, try upgrading them to a newer modern style. They will not only look great, but will help buyers to find your home.
.
Add Some Color – A container of fresh geraniums (or any other hearty and easy to care for annual) near the front door will add a welcoming touch to your front porch.
.
Change Your Doormat – It’s amazing what a new doormat can do to make your front porch area look updated and clean. A simple doormat not only helps the appearance of your home’s exterior, but helps to keep dirt from shoes from entering the interior.
.
Add an Accent Chair – Create an inviting seating area on your front porch (if you have the room) with a chair or two and an outdoor rug.
.
Don’t Forget the Garage Door – The garage door is often forgotten in the spruce up process. Remember, it will be down when buyers arrive at your home. A quick coat of paint is an easy way to freshen it up. Carriage door hardware can give your garage door an upscale look, and many home improvement stores now carry magnetic hardware that installs quickly with no tool required.
