An Irresistible Home Starts at the Curb
Prudential New Jersey Properties New Providence Office Manager explains the importance of a good first impression
NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ (February 13, 2006) - The old saying about making a good first impression couldn't be more true than when you are selling your home. According to Michael Del Duca, manager of Prudential New Jersey Properties’ New Providence office, it’s important for a home to generate interest from the moment a buyer enters its driveway.
“Curb appeal is that subjective, intangible quality that entices buyers to think emotionally rather than logically about a home,” says Del Duca. “It might be the particular way a home sits on the property, its mix of clapboard and fieldstone, the landscaping, its columns, or the flowerbeds. In any case, for the prospective buyer, it's love at first sight.”
According to Del Duca, one way to tell where your home registers on the curb appeal scale is to take pictures of your property from various angles. The photos can then be shown to friends, family and colleagues to determine what's appealing about the home and grounds, and what needs improvement.
“Take the photos to a nursery for a professional landscaper's opinion,” suggests Del Duca. “Even more important, consult your local real estate professional and ask them to walk around the property with you and view it from across the street. All this will assist you in developing a ‘to do’ list that will help you bring your home up to show condition.”
Some of the following small, easy and cost-effective solutions can make a big difference:
Paint and polish. Apply a fresh coat of paint to chipped or dulled areas. Neutral colors such as white or gray, are suggested. Polish the doorknocker and mail slot on the front door, as well as any light fixtures by the entry.
Go over the grounds. Mow and edge the grass, trim trees and bushes, clear away dead leaves and flowers, and mulch and weed the beds. Check to see that tree branches aren’t touching the roof or outer walls. Spruce up strategic spots with flowering baskets and planters. Don’t forget the side and back yards.
Make repairs. Fix anything that is unhinged or loose and remove any eyesores. Check everything from the fencing, windows and screens to the doorbell, stairs, railings and door hinges. Make sure all exterior lights work and replace dim and burned-out bulbs.
Unclutter. Tidy up the deck, patio and backyard. Rearrange the outdoor furniture, put away gardening tools and clean up the barbecue area. Eliminate any pet "evidence," and restrict animals to the back yard when showing the home. Remove extra vehicles from the view of passersby.
Clean. Wash the windows, inside and out, rinse off walkways, the driveway, and siding. Clean outdoor furniture and cushions, and check for oil spots on cement surfaces.
Further information on the local real estate market is available by contacting Michael Del Duca, manager of the Prudential New Jersey Properties New Providence Office at (908) 464-5200.
