Before putting a property on the market, a great deal of work typically goes into making it attractive to buyers. While deep cleaning, de-cluttering, and staging the inside is essential, it’s equally as important to focus on the exterior. This gives prospective buyers their first impression of a listing and sets the level of interest for the rest of the house. If you’re selling a home, you will want to do what you can to spruce up its curb appeal prior to scheduling any showings. Here are a few simple ways to make a dramatic difference.

Ways to Improve Curb Appeal When Selling a Home 

Groom the Landscape 

Clear your yard of debris, mow the lawn, and prune trees and bushes. Overgrown vegetation will detract from the attractive features of your home’s exterior and limit the natural light inside, so manicure your landscape to show off the full range of its beauty. 

Apply a Fresh Coat of Paint 

A fresh coat of paint can instantly transform the look of a home. Even if it’s not in your budget to paint the whole exterior, touching up the front door and trim will go a long way toward enhancing curb appeal. Choose colors that are aesthetically pleasing to most people and will fit in with the neighborhood nicely.  

Add Exterior Lighting 

Using outdoor lights to lead the way to the front door or highlight various areas of your landscape is an appealing way to welcome potential homebuyers and increase the safety and security of the property. Lighting fixtures can be installed along walkways, in the lawn, or up in trees, depending on the type of effect you want to create.
