5 easy tips to instantly add $5,000 or more to your home's value for under $100.
Hey Everyone,
If you’re thinking of downsizing this Spring, now is the time to start planning how to maximize your home’s value when it hits the market. One of the easiest but often overlooked ways to make your value pop is to enhance curb appeal. It’s the all important first impression that creates a connection with buyers (and increases offer price significantly). In fact, studies show that enhancing curb appeal can easily add between 3% and 5% in offer value if done properly.
One of the easiest ways to make a great first impression is to focus on the “white space” on the outside of your home. With a simple, low cost pressure washer from Amazon (many are less than $100), and in just a few hours on a nice Saturday, you can quickly make your home shine.
So, what is the white space? Here is a short list of of often overlooked exterior areas to point that pressure washer this spring:
1) Siding - particularly if you have any white siding. Focus on the north side of your home where you get mold or mildew growth. (Use the medium nozzle to remove it).
2) Gutters - we see the gutters so often it’s easy to overlook the dirt on them. It may be time for a good washing on medium nozzle. (You can buy some Dirtex at Home depot to give them a little extra shine that will make them look brand new).
3) Light posts and fences - Again - more dirt and mold growth than you realize accumulates on them. Spray them down!
4) Window sills - Dirtex or the pressure washer on window sills can really spruce up the main entrance to your home where buyers will enter.
5) Sidewalks and walkways - If you have any concrete walkways or patio areas, the pressure washer with the medium or high nozzles can remove an amazing amount of dirt that has been absorbed and make your home look inviting and new.
