3 Exterior Improvements to Increase Curb Appeal

House flipping is becoming more and more popular.  The purpose of house flipping is to purchase a property with the intention of selling it for a profit.  When buyers are searching for houses, they’ll usually look for fixer-uppers at a great price.  Sometimes they will find houses that are foreclosed; this means that they can buy the house below the market value.  After the house is purchased, it’s time to make renovations to increase the curb appeal.

It’s very important that the exterior of the house receives extra attention, as it is the first thing that a potential buyer will see when they visit the property.  For that reason, here are 3 of the updates that you should make to the exterior of a house before selling it.

 

New LaGrange garage door

An old LaGrange garage door does not look appealing to buyers.  To start, aesthetically, the Clermont garage door can make a huge difference to the overall look of the house.  If the house has a new Clermont garage door, it can tie together the appearance of the house, while making the house look up to date.  In addition, LaGrange garage doors can be a safety hazard if they are not functioning properly.  New Clermont garage doors will allow the new owners to feel confident that they won’t have to invest a lot of money into it after they purchase the home.

 

Beautiful Front Lawn

Maybe the house is beautiful, but if the lawn is patchy and abandoned, it can cause the house to lose curb appeal.  There are little things you can do, like remembering to water the lawn, clearing fallen leaves, and trimming the grass.  You can also go the extra mile and add landscape lighting and new plants.

 

Freshly Painted Front Door

How you paint the front door depends on the style of the home.  If you want a modern, unique look, you can try something that will catch the eye of other people, like bright yellow or mint.  If the house has a traditional look, on the other hand, those colors may look out of place.  Even if the new coat of paint is brown, it will make the house look new and well-reserved.

These are 3 of the ways to increase a house’s curb appeal and asking price.  If you need help installing a new LaGrange garage door, contact us at Hudson Valley Overhead Doors & Operators.
