Creating Curb Appeal to Increase Your Showings



Selling your house is a numbers game. The more showings you can attract, the likelier you are to receive an offer. This starts with enhancing your curb appeal. Buyers today begin their search on the web. They know the address, they know the price, and they’ve seen interior photos of the property. If they’re interested, they’re going to want to stop by and see the house from the outside before they determine whether they want to walk through or see the neighborhood.

So, first and foremost, create some curb appeal! Make them want to come inside. Make it warm and inviting. Start with:

  • Landscaping: Add some shrubbery. Plant some trees and flowers. Make it colorful!
  • Walkways, patio area, and the driveway: Make sure these spaces are clear and free of debris and look inviting and appealing.
  • The house number: Make it large and legible, either over the garage door, on the mailbox, or both.

  • Landscape lighting: This is especially popular in today’s housing climate. You want landscape lighting to be surrounding the entire home, including the driveway, the walkway, and the patio.
  • Freshen the mulch: Wherever’s there’s mulch, freshen it up. If you don’t have any, consider adding some.

Finally, look at the whole property objectively and see if anything needs to be painted or freshened up. Anything that can be brightened or fixed up to be more appealing will cause a buyer to look more favorably upon your home. We want them to call. We want them to come inside.
