That love at first-glance attraction, that real estate people call curb appeal, is becoming increasingly more important to the value of your home. These days, over 80 percent of buyers get their first look at a house from a picture on the Internet. If the “curbscape” is unappealing, most people don’t look any further. Even if your not planning to sell any time soon, you should think about keeping your biggest asset in an attractive and well maintained condition. Keep your homes looking so good, you become “the envy of the neighbourhood”. Remember, first impressions count when selling your home.
Improvements
Basic exterior improvements can dramatically increase the visual appeal and value of your property. Replacement of major items such as windows or the roof could play a part – but curb appeal is in “the whole package” which means that small details are also important in the big picture.
Landscaping
If you may be selling your home in the near future, attractive landscaping can significantly add to your home’s value. Even if you plan to stay in your home for a long time, there are many other benefits of landscaping. It plays a functional role in increasing the usability of your entire property.
