The Ebby Halliday listing at 4218 Running Brook Drive in Rowlett features exceptional curb appeal. Offered by Heather Sims, the home is priced at $899,500.
Spring is just around the corner and potential home buyers are out and about discovering homes for sale all over North Texas. Not surprisingly, those homes with the best “curb appeal” are often the first to sell.
“If you’re considering listing your home for sale, your property’s curb appeal should be top of mind,” says Stacey Zimmerman, a sales associate with the Preston Plano Parkway Office of Ebby Halliday Realtors. “Homebuyers often pass quick judgment on a property based on its drive-up appeal. A small investment in time and money to spruce up your property’s exterior appearance could mean fewer days on the market and a higher sales price.”
Below are a few areas in particular to focus on:
For a burst of color, plant spring flowers.
Tidy up your gardens.
Remove glass from light fixtures around your home’s front door and clean thoroughly.
Wash down your front door. If the sun has faded the paint, consider repainting.
Clean and polish your front door’s hardware. Replace it if necessary.
Check your house numbers. Are they still in good shape and visible from the street? If not, replace them.
Wash the windows. If this isn’t your strong suit, hire a professional.
Check your roof to make sure no shingles are missing or are damaged.
Remove debris from your gutters and drain spouts.
Clean your patio furniture. You want potential buyers to be able to visualize your outdoor living area’s potential.
