With the fall season in full swing right now, it is hard to keep up the well manicured appearance that is desirable when you are trying to sell your home. But a few simple tasks of leaf removal and deadheading perennials or annuals that are done for the season will still have your home standing head and shoulders above the rest. And right NOW is a great time to apply the composted bark mulch I mentioned in October's post.
OUTDOOR LIGHTING if you are selling your home you should know about 50% of viewings will take place in the evening so make sure the house numbers are easily seen in addition to having working fixtures at the entry.
ADD FINISHING TOUCHES like seasonal planters (especially fall and winter); new house numbers and a clean door mat for the front entry will create a memorable appearance for your home.And if there is room, styling the front porch with furniture or a sculpture is an exciting addition. (I am not thinking of Garden Gnomes as sculpture...)
ONE LAST THING please find a spot out of sight (and smell) for the garbage, recycling and yard waste bins. They are necessary but NOT your home's best feature.
