Add Curb Appeal to Your Home this Spring!

Curb appeal is how your home appears from the road. It's often the first impression buyers have of your property. As your trusted real estate agent in Lake Ozark, MO, I know many times before a buyer schedules a showing, they will drive by the home to see if they are interested in viewing the inside. If you are listing your home for sale at the Lake of the Ozarks, make sure potential buyers are eager to schedule a showing of your home by a stellar curb appeal this spring.


Clean It Up

It's time to clean up the exterior of your home. A  good power washing can help to improve the appearance of your home. Clean the exterior to help showcase how well you care for the home. It often gives buyers a sense of comfort knowing that the owners take good care and maintain the property well.

Pick up the Lawn

Take a walk around your home and pick up any straggling limbs or branches that may have fallen this winter. Also, ensure your lawn is leaf-free. It's also a great time of year to fertilize your lawn. This can help make sure your grass is green later in the season.

Invest in Colorful Flowers

Colors can help to draw attention to your space. Help your home stand out from the neighbors with brightly colored flowers. Consider planting flowers in the landscape, in pots along the walkway, or by the front steps. This can help give your space a splash of color and help it stand out for potential buyers.

Lighten it Up

Although the sun is staying up longer than the winter months, it still gets dark before many potential buyers have a chance to drive by. Ensure your exterior is well lit so buyers can see your space. It is also helpful to have your walkway lined with landscape lights, as well as your front porch light on when buyers come for a showing. This can help ensure they can make their way to your front door safely and easily.

Eye-Catching House Number

If your house number isn't easy to read, it's time to make it stand out. This can really help buyers know the house is, in fact, the one they are looking for if they are unfamiliar with the area. A house number is an easy way to distinguish your space.

Double-Check the Walkway

Look over the walkway and deck before you sell your home. If repairs are needed, invest your time and/or money in this space. It's often the first thing potential buyers will see as they walk into your home for a showing. Don't give the wrong impression with a cracked walkway and dirty deck.

You are now ready to get started making improvements to your curb appeal. Springtime is the ideal time to make changes to your exterior since the weather is starting to warm up. Take advantage of the sunny days that lie ahead and make plans to improve your curb appeal to attract buyers. If you are ready to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks, give me a call today. I'd be happy to help walk you through the home selling process.
