Curb Appeal

A recent buzz word in the industry is "curb appeal" and its impact on how you feel every day when you return home. The beauty it adds to your neighbourhood as well as the value it adds to your property is an undeniable fact in today's real estate market.

What is curb appeal?

As you approach your home and stand before it, what do you see? How do you feel? That's curb appeal. From the colour and style of the front door to the landscaping, lighting and everything in between, it all adds up to curb appeal. Tastefully harmonized curb appeal not only gives you a real sense of pride and ownership every time you arrive home, it also adds value to your property.

Gardens can create 4-season appeal - beginning with a few choice hardscape elements, and later proper planning of the softscape elements to provide colour, texture and interest all year round. This includes flowering trees throughout spring and summer, fall foliage in autumn and a good structure of dried and dormant plants in winter.

Curb appeal has measurable results in attracting buyers right to your front door, resulting in a quicker, more profitable sale. When refreshing your curb appeal to sell your home, it's best to keep it tidy and somewhat neutral for mass appeal, just as you would for the inside of your home. Spaces to grow can help you achieve the right look.

If you've been living in your house for some time, you may not notice things the way other people do. It's a good idea to get honest and unbiased feedback with the goal of choosing what can be done for maximum impact and a quick and profitable sale.
