5 Ways To A Better Front Yard
The exterior of your home can set the tone of its condition
Despite a real estate market with high demand and low inventory, buyers can still be selective about which homes to visit that are appealing enough. Your home’s exterior and front yard are what will establish the tone of whether a buyer’s interest is piqued enough to want to see the rest of the home. An aesthetically pleasing but also well maintained home will be inviting and increase your chances of selling. Check your home’s exterior with these 5 tips.
Front Entrance
Your front door does so much where it is the first thing all visitors see. This can set the stage for what kind of design will be found inside and it’s condition can also be indicative of the rest of the home. Upgrading your front door to a current look with modern hardware is sure to capture some good interest.
Garage Door
Garage doors are large and if they are front facing can make a big impact on your home’s design. This major architectural element of your home deserves an upgrade to a sophisticated design that makes a statement that is proper for your home.
Lighting
Lighting is key and can set a warm or even exciting tone. Be sure your home is well lit for safety and security purposes then add supplemental lighting to decorate with interest as well as have spotlights on dramatic features. You don’t always have to hire a professional for this either as there are some great solar options that work very well that you can install yourself.
Color Scheme
Colors can really enhance or detract from a home. Especially if you plan on selling in the near future, choosing neutral colors that appeal to the masses is important as not everyone can see past paint. While your interior and exterior colors don’t have to match each other, they should have some flow so a common theme carries throughout.
Landscaping
Professional landscaping can get costly but there are many things you can do on your own even with some simple maintenance. Keeping your greenery trimmed and beds free of weeds and freshly mulched goes a long way as a start.
