People are often cautioned against judging a book by its cover. But judging a home by its curb appeal? Well, now that’s a different story entirely. In fact a home’s curb appeal is exactly what will draw potential home buyers in and without it you run the risk of…not be appealing.
With winter right around the corner, now is the perfect time to begin brainstorming ways to improve your home’s curb appeal if you’re planning on putting your home up for sale in the summer. After all, creating a renovation plan, collecting paint swatches, window shopping for upgrades and all that jazz is the perfect way to stave off cabin fever!
So what are some of the ways you can boost your home’s curb appeal, get an awesome return on your investment, and not spend an unfathomable amount of money? While there’s no cookie cutter or one-size-fits-all answer — every home is different — there are however basic principles of home remodeling and renovation that are pretty much universal, and one of those principles is to install windows.
Sure, red steel front doors, white picket fences, energy efficient appliances, neutral paint colors, and the enticing smell of freshly baked cookies is enough to sign on the dotted line for a lot of hungry home hunters, but simple act of choosing to install windows can be a larger return on your investment.
Along with other home improvement upgrades such as roofing upgrades, bathroom upgrades, and especially kitchen upgrades, new windows can really do wonders in terms of boosting up a home’s curb appeal. Energy efficient windows for example not only look just as good as clear view windows but are also some of the best window products money can buy. So if you really want to get the most bang out of your buck, then consider making the decision to install windows.
Remember, it’s still very much true that it’s what on the inside that counts, but when it comes to selling your home, exterior home improvements such as landscaping, new siding, and of course window installation — always make sure it’s professional installation — can make a remarkable difference!
