How to Quickly Boost the Curb Appeal of Your Home

The exterior of your house is as important as the inside when it comes to selling it, and these tips can show you how to quickly boost the curb appeal of your house.


Exterior Maintenance Matters

Keep up with basic exterior maintenance, such as fixing broken shutters, cracked windows, sagging gutters and missing roof shingles. Your home's value can be reduced by up to 10 percent if you don't keep up with these straightforward maintenance tasks.


Clean It Up

A clean house will sell more quickly, and it's worth power washing yours with soap and water, which can get rid of any dust and dirt from brick, wood, stucco and vinyl. A long handled brush with stiff bristles can help with those stubborn areas.

Observe the Entrance

Your front entrance should be welcoming and appealing. Get rid of any unsightly junk from your front yard, and consider putting some colorful flowers in the beds or containers, as well as sprucing up your lawn. You can even replace your mailbox, put some flowers or decorative features round your existing one or get some eye catching new house numbers.

Improving your home's curb appeal generally doesn't cost that much and won't take up too much of your time, but the work can really pay off when it's time to put your house on the market.
