Update Your Curb Appeal
The National Association of REALTORS® “Remodeling Impact Report” suggests that landscaping projects often bring in higher sales prices. Homes that improved their landscaping or added a deck or patio, saw returns of investments above 100%.
We recommend starting with:
- Applying a fresh coat of paint to the front door.
- Trimming your bushes and other greenery.
- Re-mulching those garden beds.
- Replacing worn-down stone walkways and pathways.
- Removing any dead plants or trees.
- Aerating the lawn (if you have one).
- Pressure washing the exterior of your home, driveway and sidewalk.
In the end, any of these curbside appeal upgrades will help attract the eye of your home’s future residents!
