Yesterday marked the first day of spring. If you live in the Charlotte, NC. area you probably felt spring started a few weeks ago; as the weather has beenfavorable for us here in Charlotte. But, now that spring has officially arrived; what can you do to help get your home sold or ready to go on the market?
Everyone says you need to price a house correctly. But you can have your home priced correctly and still not generate showings and offers. You need to ensure the curb appeal to your home makes it inviting for soemone to want to look inside. Since in Charlotte we have been blessed by a very mild winter in comparison to other areas of the country our grass is getting greener sooner, and trees are beginning to show buds ready to open. The cold dark days of winter are behind us. make sure your home is up to the season.
There are a lot of little things you can do to spruce up the curb appeal of your home:
•Freshly cut grass always makes a home look better.
•Plant colorful flowers around the front of your home.
•Little mulch can go a long way to add life to the front of a house.
•Power wash the exterior of your home.
•Paint the wood trim and/or shutters to freshen up the house.
•Clean the yard.
•Have your Realtor re-take exterior photos (if he took them in the winter time)
These are just some ideas of what you can do to help the curb appeal of your house. It can and does make the difference between someone looking at your home and not even considering it.... We all look at the photos and if we do not like the outside of a house; chances are we are not going to even look inside. So take a look at your home from the outside. Maybe take pictures from different angles and ask friends and family what they think. Have your Realtor give you ideas of no cost or low cost ideas to spruce up the look of your home.
