Curb Appeal When Selling Your Home

Most real estate agents will tell you that the best time to sell a home in the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley Arizona areas is during the early spring and early summer months. When the weather turns warm, the vibrant growing season commences, and the desert landscapes come alive with color causing the buyer to connect with your house – even before they set foot across the threshold.

In real estate lingo, this is known as curb appeal.

Most potential home buyers make a decision about a house within the first 30 seconds. For example, simply driving by a well-kept single family home for sale in the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley Arizona areas is often enough to cause people to pull over and make an immediate call to their realtor. That’s because an inviting exterior promises an inviting interior.

To get the kind of curb appeal that really gets noticed, you have to be able to detach yourself from your home. You may have lived there for months or years, and have probably learned to overlook the overgrown shrubbery next to the sidewalk or the decorator rock looking bare. However, these are the first things potential home buyers will see. You have to view your home as objectively as possible in order to begin making the necessary repairs to get noticed.      

Look out for:

  • Visible flaking paint on the trim of the house, discolored stucco from irrigation
  • Outdated exterior colors
  • Yard clutter-dead plants
  • Dirty windows and screens

How your home appears at dusk or even at night

  • Overgrowth in the yard
  • Dead plants or leaf piles
  • Overly personalized doormats
  • Out door lighting that is not working

Of course, if you’re really motivated to sell your home in the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley Arizona areas, you should want to consider freshing up your landscaping. Like staging your home or making repairs, restorative landscaping can give your house just enough polish to entice a higher level of buyers. In fact, in a recent study, it was determined that good landscaping can actually add 6 to 11 percent to your home’s sale price.

We all know that selling a home can be hard work. Increase your chances of success by making sure your potential buyers are impressed before they even get out of the car.
