Curb Appeal
As a seller, taking curb appeal into account can be incredibly important:
- 87 percent of home buyers say that they relied on photos when house hunting.
- professionally photographed homes may sell 32 percent faster than other listings, and can command a 47 percent higher asking price per square foot (Source: Washington Post)
To visitors and potential buyers, your home’s outdoor appearance can be a major factor in how valuable they perceive a property to be, and how enthusiastic they are about making an offer.
If buyers can’t immediately envision themselves living in and enjoying a home from the outside, there’s no guarantee that seeing the rest of the property will change their minds.
Here are some do’s and don’ts:
New listing - your time to shine!
Is it worth the investment of time & money?
- Buyers form opinions starting with first impressions of the outside of the home. This usually starts with MLS photos followed by in-person and video tours.
- A neat clean exterior implies pride of ownership and upkeep of maintenance.
- The pandemic amplified outdoor living as a very important feature of a home.
- Appeal to the largest audience. Not all buyers want to garden. Make it look low maintenance.
- Tip: take a picture of the front of your property.
