Simple Curb Appeal Tips for Selling Your Home

July 2, 2019

When you’re selling your home, one of the primary areas where you will focus your attention is making sure your house looks attractive to potential buyers. These days, it’s more difficult than ever to be competitive in the real estate market. Here in Nashville, there are hundreds if not thousands of people selling their homes, and home buyers have more access than ever to listings. They don’t even have to get up from their couches to shop for homes!

While this is great for the buying side, it presents a unique challenge to sellers. How do you make your home stand out from the crowd? Fortunately, it isn’t as complicated as you might think. There are some very simple steps you can take to make your home look more desirable to prospective buyers without having to invest much time or money.

Update Your Mailbox

Chances are, you don’t give much thought to your mailbox. It functions like it’s supposed to, and that should be good enough, right? Most homeowners think this way, but the mailbox actually presents a great opportunity to leave a great first impression on potential buyers.

Your mailbox is one of the first things people see when they approach your home. If your current mailbox looks rusty, dirty, or old, it communicates upfront that the home is this way too. After all, if you can’t maintain the first thing seen on your home, then how well-maintained is the rest of it? Set these thoughts aside by upgrading your mailbox. Choosing a bright, cheery color that matches your home adds a splash of something special to your property. While you’re at it, make sure you include your house number on the side to make your home easy to find for prospective buyers.

Add Potted Plants

This tip is as simple as running to your local nursery. Adding potted plants is a seamless way to add an attractive element to your porch and front yard. Potted plants create a home-y feel that allows potential buyers to imagine living in your home. The advantage of this option rather than planting a garden is upkeep. How much work do you want to put into a garden that you won’t have long-term? Potted plants can easily be packed with the rest of your stuff when you move, making it a lovely way to decorate your new home as well.

Clean Your Gutters

The last thing a homebuyer wants is to move into a new home and immediately have a list a mile long of maintenance and repairs to complete. Seeing a property that has dirty gutters immediately communicates that the roof is not being properly maintained, which is an instant turn off for a discerning buyer. Not to mention, clogged gutters are a huge eyesore! Do yourself and the future owner of the house a favor and clean the gutters before you show your house.
