4 Ways To Improve The Street Appeal Of Your Home

These 4 easy tips will add significant street appeal for your enjoyment and hopefully more money in your pocket when it does come time to sell.

1.Replace welcoming elements

The letterbox, house numbers, door mat and door hardware can have a huge impression on buyers. These small elements can send a welcoming impression and are relatively inexpensive to replace.
2.Symmetry

Add pots of colour to either side of the front door for a visually dramatic entryway. Recommended are impatiens and succulents are also very fashionable.
3.Renew the garden

Get your garden into shape by pruning growth, pulling weeds, planting flowers, laying turf and/or adding mulch to restore colour that was taken away by sunlight and harsh weather.
4.Evening street appeal

During the sales process, consider always leaving a few interior lights on plus any exterior lights at the front of your home. Buyers may drop past to view at night.
