Most sellers want to increase the value of their house when selling. One easy way to do this is to make simple upgrades to your home’s exterior and improve its curb appeal. Today, I’m going to share some great and easy home improvements that you can make to increase the value of your home:

1. Sculpt out your garden beds. You can easily elevate the curb appeal and backyard of your home if you tidy up your garden and add some healthy-looking plants around the perimeter of your house. Clean your fences, or add one if needed.

2. Add some nice patio furniture and potted flowers. Extra seating outside of your home is great for entertaining and makes it more interesting to potential buyers. You can also add other furniture to your deck and add more plants to soften the look of your deck.

3. Add or update your existing deck. Upgrade your deck board and replace some bad deck boards. You can also have it stained when ready, which will potentially increase the backyard value.

4. Replace or paint your garage door. This is one of the first things that potential buyers see, so make sure that it looks nice and interesting to them.

5. Add fresh potted plants and repaint the front door. Like the garage door, your front door is also one of the things that potential buyers see. Replacing or repainting your front door and adding some freshly potted plants will make it more appealing and inviting.

There are many affordable and creative ideas you can try for backyards and front yards. If you’re thinking about doing a major project and you want some advice on future resale or possibly selling your home soon, DM me, email me, or call me. I’d love to give you some professional advice.
