5 Hidden Factors that Contribute to Your Home’s Resale Value

Mar 10, 2014

  For most Americans, a sizable chunk of their net worth is tied up in the value of their homes; the average homeowner invests upwards of 35 percent of their income in mortgage payments and home maintenance. It’s no wonder then that people count on recouping their investment when it’s time to sell their home. Your home’s sales price ultimately depends on making it attractive to prospective buyers. Curb appeal, fresh paint, and a good location are obvious advantages, but there are also less obvious factors that significantly impact the value of your home. A High-Maintenance Yard The yard is the first thing prospective buyers see. You may love your elaborate heirloom rose garden and carefully tended fescue lawn, but potential buyers see lots of yard work and maintenance to look forward to. Conversely, if you’ve neglected your lawn and it’s covered in weeds and dead grass, potential buyers see hard work and expensive landscaping in their future. Plant easy-care grass and appealing low-maintenance flowers and shrubs to increase curb appeal.

I have had several buyers cancel appointments to view a home at the last minute before they even take one step in the door. Why you ask? Because if a home lacks curb appeal, it turns off buyers before they even get out of the car. What is curb appeal? Curb appeal just means how attractive your home is from the sidewalk. The world of real estate can be tough and if your house doesn’t look it’s best on the outside, some buyers won’t take the time to look inside. So if you are in the market to sell your home, here are 8 ways to boost your home’s curb appeal and ensure you never miss a potential buyer. 1. Think green. Your home will look beautiful and inviting if you have a green, lush front yard. It’s easy, just water the lawn and the flower beds regularly. If the sprinkler system doesn’t work, get it fixed. This will will be one less thing for the home inspector to find wrong with your home. If you don’t have a sprinkler system, you can always buy an inexpensive hose and sprinkler at Lowe’s. While you’re there,  make sure to pick up some ammonium nitrate which is an inexpensive lawn fertilizer, guaranteed to turn your lawn green in no time at all. 2. Rake the lawn and weed the flower beds. General front yard upkeep is important and that includes the little things... read more
