When it comes to real estate, love at first sight is real! Here are 10 tips for selling a house fast by boosting curb appeal:
- Tidy the lawn and gardens. Spend a weekend picking up clutter, pulling weeds, and pruning bushes and tree branches. Fill any bare lawn spots with grass seed, and keep the yard green with regular watering and mowing. A fresh layer of mulch will spruce up the entrance, and you could go all out and plant a new row of flowers.
- Fix your roof. Grab the ladder and look for any problem areas, such as missing shingles. If your roof has been ignored for too long and there are more than a few problems, buyers will make assumptions about how well the house was maintained.
- Clean windows and pressure wash the exterior. Clear windows make a good impression on buyers by elevating curb appeal. If your home’s siding and driveway are grimy, use a pressure washer to give them a good cleaning.
- Change the numbers. Some nice new address numbers will clearly tell buyers they’ve got the right house.
- Create a seating area. Help buyers picture how they’d use your outdoor space. Set up chairs by the front door to let buyers see how functional their new yard will be.
Make a good impression! Curb appeal is often the first thing buyers see. That’s why it’s important for your yard to be picture-perfect if you’re trying to sell your house quickly and for top dollar!
