See advert front cover Selling your home? Freshen up the front! With summer upon us, now’s a great time to get your home ready to sell with lots of families looking to settle into a new home early in the new year. If you’ve got a bit of downtime over the Christmas holidays, spending a little bit of money and a few days of effort could potentially add tens of thousands to the sale price of your home. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to real estate, your first impression is everything. A great looking front yard will have a massive impact on the achievable sale price so here’s five quick and cheap ideas to add massive value from your local property expert, Joe Farr from Farr Real Estate. 1. Power wash the driveway. It might look clean, but once you blast away the dirt and grime that’s built up over the years, you’ll notice a huge difference. Same goes for pavers, porch, and the whole front of the house if you’ve got exposed brick. 2. Get a new letterbox. A shiny, modern letterbox will make a world of difference. Go for something that suits the neighbourhood but is a little unique and upmarket. 3. Green up the grass. Make sure it gets plenty of water and fertiliser before you hit the market, and keep it mowed for the duration of the marketing campaign. If it’s a bit daggy, look into re-turfing, or tear it up and replace with stones or bark chips. 4. Add some basic landscaping. Take a drive around the neighbourhood and make note of the homes you like or check out the local builder’s display homes, then head down to the local nursery and do some plant shopping. Keep it simple and go for hardy natives that won't die before the house is sold. Less is more, big plants make the yard look smaller so don’t be afraid to give established plants a really good prune to open up the view to the house. 5. Finally, do some painting. A freshly painted front door will do wonders, and if you have older timber window frames or daggy looking gutters, make sure to get them a go over too. Same for the front fence if your timber or rendered brick is a bit tired.
