4 Simple Ways To Improve The Curb Appeal of Your Home

Curb appeal is all about first impressions. Whether you’re looking to sell your home or simply enhance its aesthetic, it’s often the small things that can make a huge difference. So, we’re going to cover 4 simple ways to improve the curb appeal of your home!

Tip #1: Polish up those house numbers

4 Simple Ways To Improve The Curb Appeal of Your Home

Purchasing new house numbers can make a huge difference in the visual appeal of your home. You can order new numbers from sites like Etsy or Amazon, and this inexpensive upgrade takes only minutes to complete. To take it a step further, you can replace your porch light while you’re at it too. Look for a modern fixture that will give your entrance a little more pizazz and appeal.

Tip #2: Update your landscaping

4 Simple Ways To Improve The Curb Appeal of Your Home

Studies have shown that investing in landscaping can increase the value of your home by up to 14%! Even minor things, like installing mulch and adding flower pots or plants, can enhance your home’s curb appeal. Therefore, we recommend starting with a few additions here and there. Before you know it, BAM! You’ll look up and have a beautifully landscaped yard. If you already have plenty of bushes and shrubs, make sure you keep everything trimmed! Spend some time edging and mowing your lawn, and pulling those pesky weeds too. A neat and maintained lawn oozes curb appeal and if you’re putting your home on the market, will scream “buy me!” to potential new homeowners. 

Tip #3: Repaint your door

4 Simple Ways To Improve The Curb Appeal of Your Home

Like anything, paint can wear over time, and a good looking front door will speak volumes. It is the main portal inside your home after all. So, give your door a new, bright coat of paint and update the hardware. If you have the time and the budget, consider repainting your trim, shutters, and siding as well. Or hire professional painters to take care of it for you. New paint can really update the curb appeal and make a home look like new! 

Tip #4: Pressure wash

If you have oil, dirt, grease, or grime collecting on your driveway, it’s time for a nice pressure wash. This small task can make your driveway look like new and do wonders for your curb appeal. Additionally, if you’re entertaining guests or putting your home on the market, a clean driveway shows that you care. Make sure you hit all your walkways, patios, and decks too. 

Well there you have it! 4 simple ways to improve the curb appeal of your home, whether you’re looking to sell OR just impress the in-laws. When you’re ready to work on the inside of your home, make sure to read our blog post “The Best and Worst Home Renovations You Can Do.”

“I think that’s the easiest it’s ever been for me to buy or sell a home!”

Brad Rasmussen -

“

We had a distressed property in Tacoma that required a lot of repair before we could sell. The task soon became overwhelming and that’s when we contacted Theory Real Estate.  They purchased the property “as is”. Within 3 weeks,  we closed on the deal. The Theory team is amazing!!  Every person we came in contact with was friendly, professional and efficient.

John and Diane Simchuk -

We are new investors to this market. We met Isaac and Alan through a good friend, and we are so thankful to have met them. They are the nicest, caring, most professional, kind-hearted people we have met in a long time. We would recommend these guys to ANYONE.

Anthony & Sarah Wooden - Tacoma

“

We have bought 2 homes and sold 1 home with Theory. We would recommend them to all our friends.

We worked with Theory to find our perfect house, but ran into a couple obstacles with the seller. The Theory team was always there with answers and went above and beyond all of our expectations.
