Listings in your Area may already be budding like spring flowers. If you’ll be selling too, consider curb-appeal boosting home – improvement projects that’ll help stop buyers in their tracks!
Ø
New garage doors. Certain
garage doors constitute a large portion of a house’s façade and so the doors
are one of the firsts things buyers notice. Whatever style you choose, make
sure the doors complement the architecture of your house – Carriage-house style
doors have become quite trendy, though they might look out of place on more
modern homes.
Ø
A driveway makeover. Like
your garage doors, your driveway is often one of the first things that catch
buyer’s eyes. Whether you simply reseal your asphalt or opt for a different
paving material altogether - Brick, cobblestone, flagstone, gravel or paving
stones – a new driveway can make a huge impact
Ø
A new Walkway. Your walkway
leads buyer’s feet – and eyes right up to your door! If your current walkway is
straight consider replacing it with one that is curved, for a more aesthetic
appeal, and think about replacing the concrete with brick, stone or slate. To
finish incorporate plantings and solar powered walkway light.
Ø
Landscaping. Buyers make
assumptions about the state of your home or cottage based on the state of you
landscaping. So, if the landscaping looks like it has been neglected, or it
just lacks that ‘wow” factor, consider hiring a landscape designer. A
landscaper can plan a design that turns heads, and he or she can implement it
for you too – or you can do some or all of the work yourself, saving you a few
dollars.
Remember you only have one
chance to make a first impression!
