As the first image of your home, you want the curb appeal of your home to be as attractive as possible. A 2020 study by The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics found that curb appeal contributes up to 7% to a house’s sales price.
Some curb appeal improvements are purely cosmetic, but most require regular landscaping and maintenance.
A gallon of exterior paint costs roughly $35 per gallon. This is an inexpensive way to give your front door a great look. According to HGTV, painting the front door is one of the easiest and most effective ways to increase curb appeal. Pick a bold color for your front door that will draw attention to your property.
Adding some greenery is another low-cost way to improve your home’s curb appeal. Plants require time and effort to maintain, but their value will outweigh the effort. You don’t have to install a full garden; you can simply use plants to accentuate key visual points such as windows and doors. Planters near the front door can also have a significant impact.
One way to boost curb appeal is to replace old hardware on the front of your home, according to Better Homes & Gardens. You can add attention-getting style to your home by bringing attention-getting style to your front door lockset, mailbox, and overhead light fixtures visible from the street. Brushed nickel fixtures are often very popular in contemporary homes, while oiled bronze fixtures are popular in more traditional homes.
