Creating Curb Appeal Is Essential In Any Selling Season in Allen Texas

Good curb appeal is essential for any home seller—in any season—wishing to draw in potential buyers. While this may seem simple to achieve during the vibrant days of spring, summer, and even fall, it can feel overwhelming to accomplish during the more barren months of winter. Surprisingly, there are several things an owner can do to increase the charm of the exterior of their home during the winter season.

Whether you are trying to coverup outdated brick, revamp old siding, or just looking for a more modern shade, painting the exterior of your home can have a dramatic effect on its appeal. Yet, it does not have to be that costly, even touching up the trim, front door or garage door can be just as effective! Another area to consider is your windows. Try to spruce up those shutters with a new coat of paint this winter.

Since there is usually less foliage for landscaping in the winter, the architecture of your home needs to be as pristine as possible. One way to accomplish this is by power washing any rocked, mortared or bricked areas of the exterior of your home that may have been stained by mold or mildew from plant life or water residue during the warmer months. Other stained areas to hit with the power washer are walkways and driveways. Windows should also be thoroughly cleaned, both inside and outside.

While there is less plant life blossoming in the winter months, our warmer southern region still affords a surprising amount of botanic life to choose from. Possumhaw holly, or winterberry, is a beautiful tree or shrub that boasts beautiful deep red berries during the cold months. Helleborus niger, or the Christmas rose, is a brilliant perennial flowering plant that usually blooms in shades of white or purple and is perfect for soil or pot landscaping. If you are looking for lawn care, ryegrass is considered one of the best cool-season grasses. However, if you are pinched for time, you may consider some quality artificial plants.

We have all heard, “It’s all in the details,” and for good reason, especially in real estate! Here are some details you should consider replacing or updating to increase the curb appeal of your home. Since your home should be accentuated during the nighttime as well as daytime, change any outdated light fixtures, not only on the outside, but the inside too if they are visible from the exterior. Ensure your address numbers are updated on the home, mailbox, and even the curb. If your home is older, you may want to replace your windows or spruce them up with window shutters or solar screens. Finally, consider the condition and attractiveness of your roof and gutters.

As you can see, there are still many ways to increase the marketability of your home regardless of the season. Let the Cindy Coggins Realty Group in Allen, Texas facilitate you with deciding which areas to focus on and which experts to call.
