Before a buyer even steps through your front door, you\u2019ve created a first impression. Keeping the outside of your home clean and tidy improves your home\u2019s curb appeal and will make a difference when you\u2019re looking to sell. Here\u2019s six ways you can make your home look great and improve its resale value without spending all your money.<\/p>\n

1. Paint the outside of your home<\/strong>
\nThis is a large project but can do more to sell your house than anything else. A freshly painted house makes a great first impression. If you don\u2019t have the time or budget to repaint the entire home, just touch up shutters or window frames.<\/p>\n

2. Freshen up your front door<\/strong>
\nYou\u2019d be surprised how big a difference painting your front door can make. Your front door is the entryway to your home the focal point of its exterior. Don\u2019t be afraid to be bold in colour selection. Fresh shades will draw attention and encourage buyers to enter.<\/p>\n

3. Replace old hardware<\/strong>
\nReplacing old hardware like the door handle, house number, mailbox, and overhead light can add interest to your entrance. If they\u2019re out of date or in bad condition, they may take away from the aesthetic you want to create. Make sure the hardware forms a cohesive look.<\/p>\n

4. Tidy your garden<\/strong>
\nTackle those wild weeds and overgrown shrubs. Cut back any overgrowth that keeps light out of the house. Choose colourful plants with different growing seasons so your garden looks great in both spring and summer.<\/p>\n

5. Keep your landscaping clean<\/strong>
\nLandscaping should enhance your home, not hide it. Make sure your driveway is cleaned and walkways swept. If you have steps or a porch, make sure everything is in good repair. Replace missing spindles and rotted stairs or railings.<\/p>\n

6. Spruce up your entrance<\/strong>
\nPlace large pots filled with bright blooms at your front door – nothing is more welcoming than fresh flowers. If you\u2019ve got space, place a chair and small table to the side of the door. A comfortable spot to take off your shoes or enjoy a warm summer day will appeal to buyers.<\/p>\n

The best way to sell your home quickly and at a good price is to make it appealing. Pretend you\u2019re the buyer when you look at your home. Talk to your REALTOR\u00ae about what you can do to increase your home\u2019s curb appeal.<\/p>\n
