. Multicolored beds can be attractive, but a solid, bright color such as yellow, red or orange will gain the most attention. This bed does not have to be a great expense. Determine the size bed you would like to have, but remember, don’t plant the flowers sparsely. You are trying to sell your home immediately, not in 5 years when the bed matures. Plan to spend enough Once you have made the decision to sell your home, it is time to take a fresh look at its condition. There are numerous factors that will affect how quickly your home sells. Whether the real estate market is prosperous or in a slump, the things you do to prepare your home will determine your success against market competition.

Begin with the approach to the front of your home. A neatly manicured lawn is essential. If there are spots where the grass has thinned, then it is time to over seed or replace the area with matured grass squares. You should make this decision by determining what works best for the time of year and what type of grass you have planted. Also, your hedges should all be trimmed neatly. Next, think about the curb appeal of your home in terms wanting a new owner to call it “home.” You may have walked across your lawn and along your sidewalk so many times that you no longer notice the things others would see immediately. If you cannot see a to-do list in the making when you look at the front of your home, ask a neighbor or trusted friend to give you their honest opinion. A second set of eyes on the project is always beneficial.

Flowers and seasonal beds are always an excellent idea. Before you plant flowers, walk out to your curb and see where the addition would make the most impact. Sometimes this may be around a mailbox or in front of the bushes around the house. The idea is to get bright color to the eyes of a prospective buyer.

Determine the size bed you would like to have, but remember, don’t plant the flowers sparsely. You are trying to sell your home immediately, not in 5 years when the bed matures. Plan to spend enough money to allow the flowers to be dense in order to make the maximum effect from the day you plant them. If the expense is too great, then reduce the size of the bed. Fullness is far more important than the amount of ground you cover.

Once you have planted your bed, you might consider flowers in one more area, by the front door in a planter. After your new flower bed has captured the attention of a buyer, they will proceed to the front door and the new flower bed is behind them. Make another impact at the front door. While they wait to go in, they will notice this touch. Again, plant the pot as densely as possible to look established.

Some other things to consider while you are working on your home’s curb appeal is any sanding, filling, replacing and painting that needs to be done on the home’s trim. Flaking paint and rotted wooden trim are signs to a buyer that the home has not been cared for appropriately. Also, clean all of your glass windows and doors and sweep any cobwebs from around front door and eves of the home.

Your backyard is also important. While you might not spend as much time and money as with the front, you need to make sure it is a clean space that will allow the new owner to envision its potential. Keep it manicured. Mow the grass, trim the hedges and trees and clear any debris that is unsightly. If you maintain a wood pile, then you should make sure that it is stacked neatly and in a discreet location. While flower beds ar
