Spring Curb Appeal
Spring is officially here, bringing with it beautiful colors in full bloom. Now is the time to focus on the curb appeal of your home. Spring is one of the most popular times of the year when people consider buying a new home. For those who are in the market to sell their home, Jadestone Real Estate wants to help you prepare your home for spring selling season. Below are helpful tips that will grab people’s attention from the outside to make them excited about what is inside your home.
One of the most important things to do is to remember to update the pictures of your home from the outside. Online searches are by far the most popular ways in which people decide whether they want to see a house in person or not. Creating a good impression from the outside of your home will improve your chances of getting important showings of your house. For spring photos:
- Clear away all dead leaves and limbs that were brought about by winter.
- Trim your lawn, shrubs, and all low branches that obscure the view of your home.
- Pressure wash your walkway and driveway to give them a fresh, clean look.
- Choose blooming flowers that complement the color scheme of your home.
- Inspect your roof for lifted or missing shingles.
- Thoroughly dust and clean the lighting fixtures outside.
- Clean the main entry of your home: clean entire door, clean floors, shine up door knobs on both sides of the door. (Remember, the main entry is where all realtors and potential buyers enter. Make a good impression!)
There are also things to consider on the inside of your home. Spring cleaning tips:
- Deep clean your vents. Running the heat during winter allows for buildup to occur in your ventilation system. This will result in extra dust inside the home.
- Freshen up décor with spring colors. Yet, remember – less is more. No clutter!
- Vacuum and clean any dirty spots on furniture and floors.
- Dust and clean blinds in all windows.
- Clean the window glass.
Readying your home to sell in springtime includes special attention inside and out. Spring curb appeal will invite potential buyers to your home, and it has the potential to make them fall in love at first sight. Contact Jadestone Real Estate today.
