Make The Front Porch a Selling Point

With just under two months until fall, now is the perfect time to focus on one selling point you might not of thought of yet – the front porch. How your home looks from the outside can have significant influence on the potential buyers’ perception of its value.

While the overall maintenance of the outside of your home can be spruced up by:

• Cleaning the Exterior Walls and Windows
• A Fresh Coat of Paint
• Keeping Grass Green and Tidy
• Cleaning and Repairing the Roof

Having a front porch that is relaxing and functional is a great selling point as front porches are coming back, make sure to take advantage by staging your porch if your home has this addition.

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t have a front porch? Adding a new one costs about $10,000 and recoups 80% at resale.
