time to sell your home. If you have outdated light fixtures, that’s exactly what the lights are going to be reflected as on the exterior of your home — old and outdated. Buyers want to see that everything is fresh and up-to-date with the times, and not light fixtures that look like they have just come out of the 1980s. You don’t have to install the latest in light fixtures technology to make them look better. You can look for fixtures that match the current mounting system you have installed on your home’s exterior, so it will only be a replacement project, instead of a completely new installation that can get quite pricey. You can bring in more light if your home is still too dark. This helps make a beneficial impact when it comes to curb appeal, as well as to provide better security. Solar stake lights are inexpensive when bought from home improvement stores. No one is going to want to break into a home that has a well-lit exterior. Even though landscaping strictly pertains to the ground cover and plants around the outdoor area of your home, the exterior paint of your home plays a large role in the entire look of the property. Skimping on the paint on the exterior of your home is a great way to chase away the buyers. The best approach is getting a new paint job well before you plan on putting your home on the market. This way, the paint doesn’t look so fresh and new, but like you’ve been keeping up with it for years. The autumn season is the best time for repainting homes, as well as repairing siding and retouching chipped paint, because your landscape will have the best light to show in. Most homeowners selling their house assume that they should only have to pay attention to soft landscaping, being the lawn and the garden. That’s not true.
