Clean Up Outside
Once the snow melts and the temps rise, it’s time to get outside and do a Spring cleanup.
Yards can be just as appealing and present as many selling points as a house’s interior.
From the front of the house to the back, make sure the outside is looking good:
- Clear debris, dead plants and leaves
- Remove any miscellaneous items like yard/garden art, toys, building supplies, or junk
- Sweep front steps/porch/deck/patio
- Clear any dirt or cobwebs
- Remove any winter-seasonal arrangements or last season’s dead annuals
- Remove pet waste
- Add new mulch to make beds look tidy and stand out
- Power wash or spray down siding
- Wipe down doors and glass
- Add fresh door mats
When you’ve got everything cleaned up, use what you have to stage outdoor living spaces:
- Patio sets
- Outdoor furniture
- Outdoor rugs
- Potted plants
- Hanging plants
- Lanterns
Buyers this time of year are excited to soak up every drop of warmer weather. Make your yard the one they want, and will pay good money for!
