Buying a home? Search all homes for sale

If you’re selling your home, I’m sure you’ve worked very hard on the inside. I bet you’ve cleared your countertops, cleaned your closets, and even cleaned your blinds. However, you cannot forget about the exterior of your home. The outside of your home draws buyers inside, so you need to devote just as much time and energy outside as you have inside. There are a few different things you could do to achieve this.

The outside of your home is what
will draw buyers inside.

1. Add mulch and seasonal flowers to bring color. You want your yard to pop, so get as much color in there as possible.
2. Add trees if necessary. Trees provide a lot of value because they create a great natural barrier. Out-of-town buyers love citrus trees, so consider adding those.
3. Keep your lawn green and well-maintained despite the drought that we are facing. Be careful not to over-water.
4. Prune the hedges to give off the feel of uniformity and organization in your yard.
5. Add drought-resistant plants and drip systems.
6. Enhance your plants with lighting. This makes your plants look fabulous, and there is also a little security feature involved with this.
7. Do a general cleanup of your lawn. Take out any roots or stumps out or anything else that might be lingering and damaging the perception of your property.

Buyers decide whether they like a property or not in less than 10 seconds, so your yard has to look good. Otherwise, those buyers won’t even want to step inside your home.
