4 EXPERT TIPS TO BOOST CURB APPEAL Homeowners often ask us, “What should I look for to add value and salability of my home?” First impressions can make or break a home sale and they are formed right in the front yard! Use these four tips from celebrity outdoor designer Carson Arthur to boost a home’s curb appeal.
1. GIVE YOURSELF SOME PRIVACY Instead of planting big trees along a property line, achieve privacy with something smaller, by creating separation where you actually need it. Add privacy with a decorative lattice or tri-fold screen on the edge of the patio.
2. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE BENEFITS OF A SMALL YARD! With living walls and ways to grow vertical gardens, you can have a green space without giving up any square footage. A well-designed yard can maximize every inch!
3. SPOTLIGHT YOUR HOME’S BEST FEATURES Make an impact with guests and potential home buyers by adding outdoor lighting. Set your house apart with decorative lights, accentuating the positive aspects of your property.
4.TREASURE THE SHADE One of the most relaxing and saleable features of your home can be a big shade tree.The Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers has said a healthy shade tree on a property can improve value. Shade is also a great way to escape the heat outdoors and save on air conditioning costs indoors where trees shield the house from the sun.
Certain elements in a home increase value more than others. Contact one of our sales professionals anytime. We’d be happy to share our experience. Call a Century 21 Real Estate Professional near you: 225 Garrison Rd. Fort Erie 905-871-2121
