With Spring right around the corner, many are beginning to think about taking advantage of the “move-up” buyers tax credit and are considering putting your home up for sale! Move into your San Mateo Coastal area dream home quickly by making your current home irresistible to buyers.
First impressions are vital in the sale of your home, and we want to make sure yours make a positive lasting first impression! By creating beautiful curb appeal, buyers will get a sense that you care for your property and have the same respect and care for your home. The lawn and exterior sets the tone for how the buyers will view your home- making it a very important aspect of the home sale.
Below are a few landscaping tips that will “wow” buyers. They may not even realize why they are drawn to your home, but the goal is that they view your home as set apart from all other properties they’ve seen.
1. Add splashes of color – A landscape should provide a new display of colors, textures, and fragrances.
2. Size trees and shrubs to scale – These should be planted in the right scale for the house so that they don’t block windows, doors, and other architectural features on the home’s facade.
3. Maintain a perfect lawn – A velvety green lawn demonstrates tender loving care, so be sure sellers’ homes don’t have brown spots.
4. Light up the outside – Good illumination allows buyers to see a home at night and adds drama.
5. Let them hear water – The sound of water appeals to buyers, and you shouldn’t just reserve this for your backyard.
6. Use decorative architectural elements – A new mailbox, planted window boxes, and a low fence wrapped in potato vines add cachet. Just don’t overdo!
