Curb appeal ideas with the Klimov Group
As a Realtor, I tell my clients that one of the MOST important factors in a house sale is the curb appeal of your home.
The buyers are typically making a decision within the first few seconds of seeing the home, whether or not they envision themselves living there. As a seller, you want to make sure to leave a lasting first impression! So here are some simple curb appeal ideas to instantly boost your home’s value.
1. Well Maintained Lawn: Guys, this is number 1 for good curb appeal!!!! A taken care of front lawn indicates that the inside of the house is well taken care of and most definitely sets the tone for the rest of the showing.
***Adding fresh mulch or flowers can bring a pop of color and life to your yard.
2. Paint or Replace the front door (this one is dependent on your budget): When it comes to the curb appeal of any house, your front door is the focal point of the whole exterior!
***If the door is in good condition but looks worn, a fresh coat of paint works wonders. Using bold colors like navy, red, or black can make your home stand out. If the door is outdated, consider replacing it with a modern style that complements your home’s style.
3. Power washing your home, driveway, walkway: This is imperative to freshen up the look of your home and impress buyers! A good power wash can remove years of buildup in just a few hours, revealing a clean surface that makes your home look newer.
4. Lighting: Exterior lighting is important to the overall curb appeal of the home as well. Your home can either be dark and scary at night or warm and inviting! Buyers appreciate these little things!
***Replace old, outdated fixtures with modern lighting, or install path lights to illuminate walkways and landscaping features. Solar lights are an affordable and eco-friendly option.
Depending on your style, Amazon Outdoor Lighting has a TON of options for pathway lights, lanterns, torches, etc
5. Entry Decor: Adding a doormat with a cute message, colorful potted plants and flowers, seasonal decor are all things that make a great first impression on any buyer. For curb appeal, this attention to detail can raise the perceived value of the home in buyers’ minds.
