Curb appeal is the first impression buyers get of your home. Simple, low-cost updates like cleaning, painting the front door, and tidying the yard can improve photos and showings.
Mow, edge, and weed. Trim shrubs and trees, and remove dead plants. Add fresh mulch to beds and pick up any clutter in the yard.
Power wash driveways, walkways, and siding. Wash windows, and clean gutters and garage doors.
Replace missing shingles and repair damaged siding or trim. Touch up peeling paint.
Keep walks clear, rake leaves, and add warm lighting at the entry.
Look at your home from the street the way a buyer would. Take a photo and note what stands out. Fix what distracts first.
