Curb Appeal MUSTS before Putting the House up For Sale

Curb Appeal Musts to Try before Putting up the For Sale Sign

Curb appeal is one of the most important factors in selling a home. That first impression as a potential buyer drives by may determine if they ever even take a tour of your brand new kitchen or updated master suite. Before you even put up that for-sale sign, try a few of the following ideas to update your exterior.

Basic Repairs
Repairs and updates don’t have to be expensive. Replace old gutters and down spouts that show rust or peeling paint and replace with new, snap-fit vinyl systems. If you don’t have time or money for a fresh coat of paint on the whole house, consider just freshening up trim and door paint.

Give the Entryway a Face Lift
Although replacing a front door can be hugely expensive, there are a few other ways to dress up the entryway for an inviting first impression. A bit of paint and molding can make a big difference. A couple of coats of paint lend a bright, up-to-date appearance, while the addition of molding can give the impression of a grand entrance, and it’s available in a wide range of designs and prices.

Camouflage Eyesores
Cables, huge electric boxes, air conditioners, piping, and vents can stand out like sore thumbs around the house. You can’t get rid of them, but you can improve your home’s aesthetics by painting these types of items the same color as the house to help them blend in. For larger items, a small lattice fence with or without panels can provide a little cover, and if trash bins can’t be placed in back, surround them with a fence or even small storage shed.

Bring on the Blooms
There are loads of cheap and easy ways to add greenery and color for a quick facelift. Weed out existing gardens, clear debris, and add some new mulch for a spring-fresh appearance. If edges are old or tired-looking, put up some decorative stone or brick edging. Pick up some pretty containers and fill with a riot of cascading blooms and small shrubs, and then create a dynamic setting by using a staggered arrangement. Flower boxes add welcoming dashes of color to the front of the house and are cheap and easy to install. Boxes made from painted wood lend a charming, cottage-like appeal, while copper or iron are more classic looks.

Illuminate the Night
Lend curb appeal even in the dark by installing outdoor lighting. Many potential buyers may drive by later in the day, and the addition of front yard illumination adds a welcoming, magical appeal. Solar spotlights look great, especially shining on trees or boulders and add nothing to your electric bill. Walkway lights or tiny fairy lights on decks are other pretty additions to think about.

Make a Walkway
Create a more inviting path to your home by putting in a walkway or stone or brick. You can also resurface existing walkways and add brick or stone edging. Not only will this cover up worn spots of grass where you usually walk, but it will lend a more gracious appearance to the front yard.

Add Shutters or Accent Trim
Shutters and trim add a fresh, more updated look to the exterior. Made of wood, aluminum, or composite, shutters can make windows appear larger, and have the added bonus of adding light and ventilation.
Curb appeal is important in the sale of your home, but doesn’t have to hard to install. Once you put the For Sale sign up, the rest is a piece of cake.

5 Advantages of Buying a Fixer-Upper

We all have fantasy images of our dream house. These images may be hard to let go of when buying a home, especially when all you can afford are homes that, well, let’s just say need some TLC.

That’s when it’s important to keep in mind that the fixer-upper you’re looking at could have the potential to someday become your dream house. It’s just one advantage fixer-uppers can offer. Here are a few others:

1. Lower price
A home that needs work likely will be less expensive. Such properties rarely list at full market price.

2. Fewer competitors
Many buyers are unwilling or unable to put a lot of work into a house. This creates the perfect opportunity to snatch a bargain,
a major advantage welcomed in particular by first-time homebuyers or house hunters competing for homes in areas with low inventory.

3. A blank canvas
With a fixer-upper, you call the shots as to how the house will eventually look. You don’t have to settle for a home that reflects someone else’s taste. Plus, if you do some of the work yourself, you’re automatically awarded bragging rights.

4. Quicker equity
If you renovate the home shortly after you buy it, you may increase its value quickly. Equity provides many financial benefits, from raising your personal net worth to giving you an opportunity to refinance sooner, if needed.

5. The possibility of renovation loans
Ask your lender about the Federal Housing Administration’s 203k loans that provide homeowners with funds specifically for fixer-upper projects. The loans, the 203k Streamlined Mortgage and the full 203k Mortgage, are available for homes with needs ranging from cosmetic improvements to extensive structural work.

Whether you’re looking for the home of your dreams or a starter house that may need some work, a local RE/MAX agent can guide you there. Heidi Buchberger RE/MAX Realty Center
