  The term curb appeal is derived from real estate and home design, which simply describes the visual attractiveness of a property as seen from the street. This also includes the outdoor fixtures, front entrance, exterior painting, sidewalks, driveway, and landscaping of the home. Many people view this as an indication of how meticulous you are in taking care of your property.
  By making the appearance of your front yard more welcoming, you are improving your home's overall value and may even get compliments from neighbors passing by.
  The primary reason why curb appeal is important lies in the value it brings to the property. An indication that the curb appeal of your home may be lacking is if it simply blends with its surrounding houses, and in this case, you may get a low resale value for your home. Improving your home's appearance from the inside out can help you sell your home faster and for more money.
  With adequate outdoor lighting makes it safer to walk around at night, since it can deter criminal activity. Moreover, well placed fixtures and trees will not only improve the appearance of your home, it will also help in blocking strong winds and sun, which helps in cutting down heating or cooling costs.
  According to Consumer Reports, adding curb appeal can increase the overall value of your home by 3-5 percent for homeowners that are planning to resell their home. In fact, just by simply washing a house can add $10,000 to $15,000 to the sale prices of some houses.
  Grass, Trees & Landscaping
  You can instantly upgrade the appearance of your home by adding a variety of flowering plants, shrubs, and herbs, and by keeping your lawn neat and clean. You can also add some shutters or planter boxes that match the color of your home's exterior painting.
  House roofing is perhaps one of the most prominent features of a house, but many homeowners do not know that a new roof can actually increase your home's overall value by around $12,000.
  Factors like the width, materials used, and the neighborhood can all affect the added value of the home. So if the surrounding houses around your neighborhood all have concrete driveways, spending money on expensive brick driveway might not be a wise financial decision.
  One of the best ways to make a good first impression is with a custom door, which are usually made of unique materials, such as aluminum or copper. Also, adding more windows can open up a house, and create a more spacious-feeling room.

  Enjoyed the post. I bought my home because the previous owner took care of the lawn and exterior of the home.
  It's all about the look of the home as you pull up to it. Keep the lawn going Zack!
