THE VALUE OF A RECENTLY PAINTED HOUSE
Even though we have been examining landscaping as pertains to the ground cover and plants around the outdoor area of your home, do not overlook the exterior paint of your home in curb appeal, as it plays a very big role in catching a buyer’s eye for good or bad. Having the home freshly painted well before you plan on putting your home on the market is the best course. This avoids the look of a home that has just been painted to make ready for Sale and instead as if the house has been regularly and frequently maintained. Some sellers assume that they should only pay attention to soft landscaping, being the lawn and the garden. However, hardscaping refers to the driveway, rocks, sidewalks, and any paved areas around the home. Have all broken cement fixed, make sure there are no cracks or oil stains in the driveway, and that all stone or cement walkways are in top-notch repair. Power wash your driveway.
