Thanks to Alex for these great tips on how to improve your home’s curb appeal. While a new garage door can make a huge impact on the curb appeal of a home, many of these are gentle reminders to do what you KNOW you should be doing. A little elbow grease and diligence will go a long way!
If you want to sell your home you can greatly improve your chances of doing so by improving your home’s curb appeal. The better your home looks from the outside, the more enthusiastic any potential buyers will be when they come and take a look at it.
Check out these five ways to increase your home’s curb appeal and boost your chances of an early sale.
1. Replace your garage door
If you have a garage and the door is looking a bit the worse for wear, take the opportunity to get a new one installed. People will want to know they can park their car safely inside the garage, and a new door will look clean and fresh too. If the door works fine but the paint is peeling, give it a new coat.
2. Give your front door a new coat of paint
Your eye tends to go right to the front door of any property the moment you look at it. How good does your door look? Splash out on a can of paint and repaint it a nice bright color. You’ll be amazed at the difference it can make. {tip: here are some tips in picking the right color}
3. Do some weeding
There is nothing worse than a smart house that has an untidy garden. Even if you’re not very good at gardening you can still remove the weeds and keep the beds looking tidy. If you do it regularly you’ll only need a few minutes a day to pluck out any new weeds as they come through.
4. Mow the lawn
If you have a front lawn make sure you show it off! Unkempt and straggly grass will let down your whole house. Be sure to keep it nicely trimmed and ensure it looks its best just before any viewing you have booked in for your property.
5. Keep the windows and frames clean
You should do this anyway in order to keep them in good condition all year round. If you have wooden frames that are in need of attention, repaint them. Otherwise clean the windows and frames regularly to make sure they look as good as possible.
Summary
You can see that none of these steps will take very long to complete. If you tackle all five steps in one go to start with, you might be surprised at the difference it makes to your home. If you want the best possible curb appeal, you’ll definitely get it by giving your home these essential treatments.

The outside decoration of homes is important if anyone wants to impress the buyer for selling their home. You have mentioned some good stuff which will help to get a better rate for their home. I loved it.
Great article! Creating a nice curb appeal is one of the most important things to do when selling a home. Fresh mulch, plants and grass indicate that this house has been cared for and makes the buyer want to see more. If desired we provide specific “how-to” suggestions that are part of our free home staging consultation for our Miami sellers. Love 2. — paying attention to your house door!
glad to see landscaping on the list. people are superficial so exteriors are ultra important in home sales.
