3 Ways To Make Your Home Look Great | E Neighborhood Advisor

Maybe you want to spruce up the place, or you’re planning to sell this year, here are three key areas deserving extra attention. Curb Appeal The first impression of your home happens from the street. People will determine what the people and inside of the house are like based on the way it looks out front. That curb appeal also majorly impacts a potential buyer’s decision. Stand in front of your home and survey the property. What needs to get fixed? What needs to get cleaned up? Survey the remainder of your exterior property. Create a list of what needs to get done like: Remove debris; Remove weeds and dead branches; Edge the garden; Fertilize the lawn; Add some colorful plants and flower pots; Paint the garage door; Paint the front door; Clean the windows, etc. Declutter and Organize Walk into your home as if for the first time. Forget what you know is there and view the interior like you’re visiting a model home. A model home has no clutter. If you’re planning on selling your home, keep in mind that buyers expect to see a tidy, depersonalized house. Of course, if you’re not planning to sell your home the personalized items can stay. The spring cleaning of your home includes getting rid of clutter like out-of-place items, papers, magazines, etc. Organize by having a distinct place for every item in your home, donating or selling things you no longer want or need, and throwing away the trash.

Complete the Incomplete

Get that home to-do list checked off. Often there are little DIY projects that we put off like updating light fixtures, caulking the bathtub, repairing a small spot on the wall, repainting a room, rehanging the drapes. Now is the time to get them done, especially if you are planning to sell the house. Those unfinished projects can impact the value of your home.

When considering your home’s value, a local real estate agent can give you the best advice for your home. In general, curb appeal, floors, fixtures, bathroom, kitchen, and master bedroom strongly impact the value of your home.
