Replace the front door

The front of your house is what first impresses the buyer and so it must be extremely attractive. Observe your front door; can you say it is attractive? Replace the door and you will not be paying a huge amount. Or at least paint it a different color. Like bright shades? Be bold with your front door then, but whatever you choose must complement the rest of your exterior.

Tend to the landscaping

How kempt is your garden? Remove the weeds, mow the grass, and take care of any other pending work. Add some new flowers as well; go for colorful ones that can attract any buyer with their beauty and fragrance.

Give a new coat of paint

Paint can completely change the look of your house, and if you are good with DIY tasks, you can manage this by yourself, which means dealing with even lesser costs. While your front door can be bright, when it comes to the rest of the house, you should stay away from dark colors. Instead, go with light, subtle shades like whites, ash grays, creamy yellows and the like.

You are right; brightly colored walls are a trend in the housing industry, but not every buyer is going to fall for them.

Throw away all your junk

Buyers should not be greeted with a mess and clutter when they come and visit your house. Tidy it up and get rid of the junk. Doing this even makes packing easier for you when you move. Anything that you have not used in the past six months, you can throw away, donate or even re-sell. Go for the last option, and you can generate a small, but significant income stream.

Tidy up your house

Once you have de-cluttered your house, you should make things neat and tidy. Put everything where it belongs. Your kitchen counters must not be covered with appliances, your closets must not be stuffed with clothes and your beds must be properly made.
