As we begin the New Year, it’s often a time we think about change, especially if you are looking for your sell your home and move onto a new adventure. As the summer sun shines, potential buyers will be spending an increasing amount of time outside viewing your home. Here are some quick and smart tips for boosting your homes curb appeal by Century 21 Gold.
Refresh your home's exterior with new siding. When replacing siding, try adding a few architectural trimmings that will enhance your home's curb appeal and attract buyers. ‘’Try adding a small balcony above the front door, decorative shutters and window mullions, or wide moldings around the front doors,” advises Derryn Mayne, Licensed Agent from Century 21 Real Estate Manurewa.
On the topic of doors, a recent study by door manufacturer Therma-Tru found that upgrading the front door of a house increased the perceived value of a $190,000 home by almost $8,000. “A new front door instantly enhances your home's appearance, and what's more, it can greatly increase resale value,”” says Derryn.
Front Porches are making a comeback. They can add great appeal with extra family living space, and a charming porch pulls buyers in.
A beautiful front garden will always bring the buyers in. Flowers along the sidewalk, in front of the house, inside flower boxes, in hanging baskets provide a giant improvement to your curb appeal. “Planting flowers is one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to make a big impact,” comments Derryn.
Mailboxes may seem like a nostalgic item, but they can add positive welcoming appeal to your home. You can buy stylish mailboxes at a local home improvement store, and they come in various designs to match your home design. “You can also fix up the mailbox you already have, a new coat of paint or adding numbers to the side in the form of stickers or metal decals can make your home feel more complete,” adds Derryn.
Homes in the suburbs are the not the only ones that can benefit from updating the exterior. When “Work with what you have by adding neat window planter boxes, good lighting and clearly visible numbers,” adds Derryn.
