Two things remain irretrievable: time and a first impression. Let’s kick off 2022 with our best façade forward!
Curb appeal is a facet of a home, just as much as a bedroom or a bathroom, and investing in our home’s outer appearance is proven to increase the average sale price when it comes time to sell. There are budget-friendly things you can do to help your home’s exterior give a good first impression, even in winter:
- Offer a front door that’s easily identifiable.
That may mean a distinctive paint or stain color, a unique light overhead, or sconces on either side. - Make your garage attractive.
Little updates like pressure washing, a fresh coat of paint, new faux hardware, and window coloring can go a long way. - Keep your front walkway and driveway clear of snow.
Your home will look more welcoming, as it creates a clear entry. And your mail carrier will appreciate this too! - Replace the house numbers on your home.
Make sure they are easy to read from the street. You can buy new numbers at places like Wayfair, Home Depot, and even Etsy. - Update your mailbox.
Try to color-coordinate the mailbox with your front door, window frames, and/or shutters. A cohesive color palette will make your home look more refined and well-kept.
When your home looks well taken care of from the outside, people, including potential buyers, will assume the rest of the house is taken care of, too!
