4/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Spring has arrived, and with it typically comes an influx of homes being listed for sale. How can you show buyers that your home is their dream home?

One way to stand out among the other listings this spring is to complete some simple updates that can make a big difference to the look of your home. This shows buyers that you care about the upkeep and look of your abode. If you're looking to put your house on the market this spring, here are five ideas for updating your home's exterior.

Five Exterior Home Updates

1. New Lighting

Consider replacing old light fixtures at the entryway to your home. Not only does this add to the curb appeal of your home, but it also helps potential buyers see better upon arrival if they are touring your home in the evening. Another unique way to update the lighting on the exterior of your home is to add solar lights along a walkway or spotlights that shine on landscaping.

2. Freshen Up Landscaping

There's something about a fresh bed of mulch that can really make the exterior of a home pop. Along with replacing mulch in your landscaping, consider planting flowers, adding decorative rock or benches, clearing away dead leaves and debris, and trimming shrubs and trees that are overgrown.

3. Power Wash Porches and Walkways

Renting a power washer to wash the grime of winter and past seasons off of your porches and walkways, and even your siding or garage doors can make your home look more vibrant, clean, and appealing to potential buyers. It also shows that you care about the upkeep and cleanliness of the exterior of your home.

4. Paint

If you're not looking to paint the entire exterior of your house, there are smaller, more short-term paint projects that can add to the curb appeal of your home. Try painting your mailbox, shutters, porch furniture, front door, or entryway in vibrant colors to make buyers feel welcome.

5. Make Necessary Repairs

It's important to tackle any repairs that may need done to the exterior of your home, as they can be a major eyesore for potential buyers. Replace broken windows, fix fencing that has been damaged, make sure all locks work with ease, and consider repairing concrete steps or walkways if any of yours have crumbled or sustained damage over the winter.
