Make Buyers Fall In Love From The Street With Outstanding Fall Curb Appeal!

 

If selling your home is in your plans this fall, exterior maintenance and outstanding fall curb appeal will go a long way in making potential buyers truly fall in love with your home from the street, creating high buyer emotion, excitement and demand for your home. Your home’s exterior is the first – and last – impression for anyone who drops by. Make it memorable with seasonal pops of colour and a spotlessly clean and well-maintained look! Implement these fall curb appeal tips to set yourself up for success.

 

Showcase Your Front Porch with a Fresh, New Fall Look

As the entrance to the interior of your home, your front porch is the first thing your prospective buyers will experience as they arrive to tour your home. Make an amazing first impression!

 

 

  • Keep your front porch free of any clutter and debris.
  • Paint or re-stain the front door and trim.
  • Clean exterior light fixtures and replace defective light bulbs.
  • Ensure your doorbell, door locks and key access are all in good working order.
  • Make sure your house numbers are attractive and easily visible from the street.
  • Replace the mailbox or paint the existing one.
  • Enhance your front porch with a new welcome mat.
  • Showcase your front door with a seasonal wreath to accent your home with seasonal colour.
  • Add beautiful seasonal floral containers in bloom as a crowning accent to make your front porch welcoming and inviting.

 

Clear Clutter From The Driveway And All Exterior Walkways

Everyday life often leads to a buildup of clutter in and around our homes. From kids’ bikes to hockey nets to recycle bins, it can be a challenge for homeowners. When you put your home on the market, it’s really important to keep your driveway and exterior walkways clutter-free. Your goal here is to let nothing distract from the presentation of your property and to provide a safe, warm and welcoming environment for your buyers.

 

Pressure Wash Driveways, Patios, Walkways And Home Exterior

Over time, the elements and season climate changes can take a toll on the exterior of your home. Freshening it up with a thorough pressure washing is one of the most impactful things you can do to pump up your home’s curb appeal.

 

Make Your Windows Sparkle 

Truly stand out from competing properties on the market.  Give your home a polished appearance by thoroughly cleaning your windows, inside and out.

 

 

Keep Your Lawn Freshly Mowed and Garden Beds Manicured

There is nothing more eye-catching to a buyer than a beautifully maintained lawn and immaculate gardens. Ensuring your landscaping is healthy and regularly maintained will be a big key to your success in selling your home quickly and for top dollar! All you’ll need is a lawn mower, a pair of garden shears, a little elbow grease and your yard will be in tip-top shape in no time!

 

 

  • Make sure yards and walkways are free of leaves and debris.
  • Keep lawns freshly cut.
  • Reseed the lawn and add fresh sod as needed.
  • Weed the garden.
  • Trim hedges and shrubs.

 

Add Fall Seasonal Colour 

Seasonal floral displays in full bloom greatly enhance your curb appeal during the fall months and add a beautiful and welcoming touch to your home. Make your home stand out from the street with floral containers featured throughout your garden. It’s a simple, easy, and relatively inexpensive way to bring an immediate WOW factor to any fall garden.

 

 

Illuminate The Front Walk And Gardens With Solar Lighting

Buyers often view homes in the evening after work. With shorter fall days, exterior lighting plays a key role in the overall first impression buyers have of your home. Install solar lights up the driveway and along the walkway to add warmth and ambience to your home in the evening. If you want to take it a step further, add lighting throughout your gardens to highlight your landscaping.

 

 

Don’t Shut Down Your Irrigation System Just Yet! 

Shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures can take a toll on your landscaping in a matter of days. Make sure your outstanding lawn and gardens continue to get the water they need on a regular basis to stay lush and green throughout the selling time frame.
