Adding Value to your home? Start with exterior

Thinking of adding value to your home? Start with the
exterior to impact potential buyers when you are ready to sell. The exterior of a home many times will
determine if a buyer will love your house enough to come and view the inside. Some times it can be a turn off for buyers.
The first impact makes a statement about how
sellers value their house and it also
increases the selling value.
Start with the exterior door. The exterior door can make a
great impact on a potential buyer. You could simply apply a fresh color or a
replace it with a more decorative door . If replacing your front door, go for an
Energy Star certified front door with decorative glass accents and sidelights. The
price for this upgrade can range from $200 to $800.
Next, consider adding accessories to the front door. Choose
hardware finishes that will create consistency with your exterior lighting,
mailbox and the house number. New
hardware can give an existing door a positive and fresh look.
Then, consider adding a row of exterior lightnings to
illuminate the walking path leading to the front door. Install matching light
fixtures outside the front door, garage door and the patio to create a
welcoming feel. Make sure all the
hardware matches to complete the look.
Finally, add some potted plants around the front door, or on
the porch. Use decorative planters of various sizes, shapes and color. Planting
flowerbeds around along the driveways and walkways is also an attractive idea.
These are a few quick and easy ways of adding value to your
home on the exterior, without blowing your budget!
