It’s time to start thinking about your homes curb appeal especially if your thinking about putting your home on the market to sell. Today’s buyers do take in consideration the way the home looks at 1st glance. Dollars signs start clicking in there heads even before they get to the front door. Here are a few ideals that are easy and inexpensive to get you started in thinking about your homes curb appeal. You don’t have to wait until spring!
Maintain and mow your lawn. Mow! Lawns don’t stay very wet for long here in California so make sure to mow.
Prune large bushes that have taken over or grown on to walkways and pay attention to area at the entry.
Clean windows inside and out! Add curtain panels which can be picked up at discount store very inexpensively.
A fresh coat of paint on the front door can be very inviting.. Most paint stores have OPPPS paint………which is paint that has been discounted because for some reason it was either never purchased or it was returned.
Brighten up dark areas of your yards with containers of color. (Did you read my Blog on container gardening?)
Pull weeds and plant inexpensive flowers in the flower bed, add a mixture of flowers, ground cover and wild grasses. It will really take off in the spring and you will find you don’t need has many flowers.
Don’t forget around the mail box! Paint if need and some wild grassaround the base which you will not have to mow!
Accent architectural focal points, depending on the accent it could be as easy as some cleaning and or paint. Maybe a bird bath etc……………It’s as easy as that!
