Yes, it is nasty, cold, wet, and unpleasant outside. No one can see your meticulously maintained lawn and flower beds. How can you get the edge with curb appeal in the winter?
Here are some thoughts:
- Make sure your home is completely accessible - keep all walkways and any stairs ice and snow free.
- Find creative ways to use color. This is easy around the holidays, but don't take everything down and not replace it with some other appropriate seasonal decorations. Need ideas - just stop by Michael's or another decorating store and walk around a little.
- Since it is darker earlier and many buyers will be looking
after regular work hours, make sure your property is well illuminated. You may want to add some additional spotlights (like the exterior ones they sell around the holidays). - Be sure you take down those holiday decorations. No one wants to see a Santa on the front steps in March!
Don't give up on the exterior of your house even if it is the winter. Curb appeal is always important so make your first impression your best one!
