Curb appeal is what is referred to as the first impression by others when they see your home! Put another way, what type of appeal does your home offer from someone standing on the curb?
Curb appeal generally refers to things like your lawn, landscaping, and the exterior of your home. Aesthetics matter when you are looking to maintain your home's value.
There are ways to add curb appeal that is free, including mowing your grass, trimming your bushes, cleaning out your mulch bed, washing your home, and trimming back your trees.
And then there are other things that will require an investment like paint, windows and a new roof. All will add value to your home and increase curb appeal.
The first and most crucial step in adding curb appeal is making sure your home’s lawn is looking great. A lush green lawn is one way to make your home stand out.
