Curb appeal is incredibly important, whether you have a golf course home for sale in Brandon, a condo for sale in New Port Richey, or a waterfront home for sale in Belleair Beach. (Naturally, curb appeal in a condo isn’t always in your hands – but it can still mean making sure your exterior door is freshly painted and that your porch and patio look beautiful.)
So what is curb appeal, and why does it matter?
What is Curb Appeal?
Curb appeal is a catch-all term for the impression potential buyers get when they see your home’s exterior for the first time. It includes the way your lawn looks, how your porch looks, and how your walkway looks – as well as everything else potential buyers can see when they pull up to the curb in front of your home.
Why Does Curb Appeal Matter?
The first impression potential buyers get of your home is when they pull up to the curb outside. They’re going to pre-judge what’s inside your home before they even make it to the front door, and that’s based on how the neighborhood looks and how appealing your home itself looks.
It’s essential that potential buyers get a great first impression. You want every moment they’re at your home to be a pleasant one (even before they get out of the car), and you can help that happen by making sure everything outside looks great.
