The front of your house is like the first impression that someone gets when they visit. If it's neat, clean, and well-maintained, you're already off to a good start in making a positive impression on potential buyers.

So if you're planning on selling your home, here are some tips for boosting curb appeal:

Keep the Lawn Mowed

  • Mow the lawn regularly. Grass grows fast, so it's important to keep your lawn mowed regularly. If you don't have time for this task yourself, hire someone who will do it for you.

  • Trim shrubs and hedges that are overgrown or unsightly in any way--they'll be much more appealing if they're neatly trimmed!

  • Clean windows and door knobs regularly so they look shiny and new again (or at least cleaner than before). You can use an all-purpose cleaner like Windex or 409 for this task; just make sure not to spray anything directly onto the glass itself since this could cause damage from moisture buildup inside the window frame itself over time due to condensation buildup from humidity levels being higher outside than inside during hot summer months when temperatures rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside during daylight hours when sunlight shines directly onto those surfaces making them warm enough where water vaporizes into liquid form which then freezes upon contact with cold surfaces such as metal frames--which means ice forms around edges where no one sees them unless they peek behind curtains while cleaning up after themselves!

Trim Your Bushes

Trimming bushes is a great way to improve your curb appeal. You can trim bushes by cutting off dead branches, but you should only do this when the weather is warm and dry. If you trim too late in the year, there may be an increased chance of mold or disease infecting your plants.

If you want to make sure your bushes are healthy and green all year round, they must receive plenty of sunlight and water during their growing season (April- September).

Clean the Windows and Doorknobs

  • Clean the windows and doorknobs.

  • Make sure the windows are clean and clear of any dirt.

  • If you have curtains, pull them back to reveal an unobstructed view of your home exterior.

  • Doorknobs should be shiny and clean as well; wipe them down with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water if necessary.

Trim Shrubs, Hedges, and Vines Near the House

If your house has a lot of shrubs, hedges, and vines growing near it, trim them regularly. Keep them trimmed so they don't grow into the windows or block the front door. If there are plants that are in bloom right now, keep them pruned back so they don't block views of your home. A professional landscape designer can help you with this task if it seems too daunting or time-consuming for you to do it yourself.

Replace Cracked or Broken Windows With Energy Star-Rated Replacements

  • Replace cracked or broken windows with Energy Star-rated replacements.

  • Make sure to get the right size for the space.

  • Make sure to get the right type of window for the space.

  • Get a style that fits in with your home's style and aesthetic.

Repair or Replace Rotting or Damaged Shingles, Siding or Trim

  • Check for rot, damage, and termite damage.

  • Replace rotted wood with pressure-treated lumber or cedar if it's in good condition.

  • Make sure the roof is in good condition and has no leaks.

Paint the Exterior of Your House - Or at Least Get Rid of Peeling Paint.

  • Paint the exterior of your house - or at least get rid of peeling paint. The average home that has been on the market for a month will sell for $2,000 more than one with peeling or faded paint.

  • Fix any leaks in the roof and gutters. A leaky roof can damage ceilings, walls, and floors inside your house, which could lower its value by thousands of dollars when it comes time to sell it later on down the road.

It’s Worth Spending Some Time on Outdoor Improvements if You Want to Sell Your Home

If you want to sell your home, it's worth investing some time and money into improving the curb appeal.

  • You'll get more offers. A good-looking house is more appealing to buyers, who will be eager to make an offer on a home that looks great from the street. This means that if you spend time making small improvements like planting flowers or trimming bushes, you may find yourself getting multiple offers on the property--and that means higher prices!

  • You'll sell faster (and get paid sooner). The longer it takes for a house to sell, the more money goes down the drain as interest payments accrue on mortgages and taxes are assessed against them (not counting any costs associated with maintaining an empty house). When buyers see houses with attractive exteriors, they're more likely than not going to want one of those instead of waiting months or years until something else comes along.*
