Now that we are finally starting to thaw out from the snow - Buyers are coming out of hibernation and starting to peruse the streets in the neighborhood. If your house is FOR SALE, it's time to freshen up a few things to give your home "Curb Appeal".
1) Make sure your driveway and walkway is completely free of snow and ice - you don't want anyone tripping as they are preparing to walk into your home.
2) Make sure your "FOR SALE" sign has been unburried from the snow and it's straight and upright. If there are flyers in your flyer box - make sure they are legible and the ink is not dripping from the melting snow.
3) Clear your house of sleds, shovels, scrapers and things that have been "left behind" during snow play - that what the corner of the garage is for!
4) A Welcome Wreath is GREAT to have on the door - but if it's still covered with drippings of ice and snow, it looks unmaintained. Take your wreath off the door and shake it out... it will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!
5) Snow treks in not only water, but fragments that leave floors not so happy. Spend the time to make sure all entry ways have been swept and cleaned. It makes a BIG IMPRESSION!
6) I LOVE my Mud Room, but the Winter HATES IT... Gloves, Hats, Boots, Scarves - all over the place. My recommendation, TOTES! Pack em' up and get them out of eye sight :D
Hope these few pieces of advice are helpful! Even in the COLD of WINTER - you can still give your home curb appeal with the white winter covering that remains...Have a Question about Real Estate in Gilbertsville and the surrounding areas?
