First impressions matter a great deal particularly when it’s time to sell your home. Adding curb appeal to your home is essential to determining whether or not a potential buyer wants to come inside for a real showing. Because sellers now list their homes online, curb appeal must grab that favorable first impression. Instead of driving by your home, a potential buyer scrolls through images of the outside of your property before he or she has even stepped inside. So, you risk the chance that buyers will never even drive by if they don’t like what they see online.
The fact is that most potential homebuyers want to tour the inside of a home if it looks inviting on the outside. Unless you are selling your home as a fixer-upper, you want to catch the eye of every homebuyer who see the pictures of your home. While it’s certainly wise to clean the gutters and power wash the exterior, you want to ensure the landscape adds the curb appeal you need to get the buyer to the next level of interest in your home. When you have replaced overgrown or unsightly bushes with colorful shrubs, added mulch, and planted brightly colored flowers, you stand a much better chance of getting your home’s selling price.
