How to Increase Curb Appeal this Fall

If your home is for sale this fall, curb appeal can have a huge impact on the sale of your house. Many potential buyers in the area will actually drive by your property before deciding whether he or she wants to schedule a showing of the inside. Grab the attention of those driving by your home by boosting your curb appeal efforts. A little extra attention to the exterior of your home can help it stand out from other homes on the market. The best real estate agents in Sunrise Beach, MO have provided some helpful ways to help increase your curb appeal this fall.

Plant Flowers

While many think of flowers as a spring staple, there are a number of autumn flowers that you can plant outside your home this fall. Whether you have a flower garden or potted plants, adding colorful blooms to your home can catch the eye of those passing by. You can also add color to your landscape by placing flowers around your mailbox.

Rake Leaves

It is the time of year where leaves are constantly falling. While everyone understands leaves fall this time of year, and likely have a similar situation at their own house, try to keep up with leaf removal. This can help your yard and entire home appear clean and neat. Raking leaves on a regular basis can help make the removal process less painful. It can be a daunting task to rake and bag up leaves after collecting in your yard for months.

Draw Attention to Door

There are a number of ways to draw attention to your front door. Painting the door a bright color is an easy way to gain visibility from the road. If you not committed to a bold paint color, consider adding an eye catching fall display to your entryway. A few pumpkins and corn stalks can go along way for adding a festive display to your front porch.

Clean Exterior of Home

This is a great time of year to do a little fall clean-up of the exterior of your home, especially if you plan to sell. Power wash debris that has built up on the side of your house over the summer and fall months. Washing your deck or patio is a good idea as well, for a clean look when potential buyers look at your home.

Add Lighting Outdoors

Lighting outside of your home can help draw attention to your house in the evening. A light near your front door helps to illuminate your front porch and adds a safety factor for those entering and exiting your house. Also, adding lighting can help catch the eye of those potential buyers driving by your property. Whether you want to light up your walkway or your landscape display, adding lights can help increase your curb appeal in the evening.

Post House Number

A house number displayed nicely on your home can help assure potential buyers are looking at the right home, as they drive by your property. If a home is hard to identify or locate, buyers driving by may get frustrated, or distracted by a different home for sale in the neighborhood. An inexpensive way to add to your curb appeal efforts is incorporating a house number.

If you are considering the sale of your home at the Lake of the Ozarks, ensure the exterior of your house is appealing for buyers who may be driving by your property. Increasing your curb appeal efforts is a great way to draw potential buyers into your home. Let Eagle’s Nest Realty help you successfully sell your home through our home marketing tactics and experience in real estate in the area. Give us a call at (573) 280-0769 if you want to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks.

6 Benefits of Homeownership

The purchase of a home is a major decision throughout anyone's life. Although it may seem a bit intimidating at first, there are a number of benefits that go along with owning a home. If you are in the market to purchase a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, we would be pleased to assist you in the house search. Whether you are a first time homebuyer, or looking to purchase a second home, Eagle’s Nest Realty can help make your home buying experience great. Provided below are a few of the benefits that go hand in hand with owning your own house.

1. Privacy

Privacy is a major benefit of owning your property. Once you own the land and house, you can do what you wish to it. If you want to put up a picket fence around your front yard, you can do that. As a homeowner, you can decide who comes onto your property as well.

2. Build Equity

Those monthly payments that a homebuyer makes, help to build equity in the home. Typically, a home appreciates over time, which means you should be able to sell it for more than you have paid. This allows homeowners to purchase a more expensive home after selling their first home.

3. Predictable Payment

When you purchase a home, you usually know what your monthly payment will be for the next 30 years. This makes it easy to budget accordingly, without sudden surprises in a pricing difference. A consistent payment amount allows a homeowner to plan for future expenses.

4. Stable Environment

A homeowner, whether he or she realizes it, provides a stable environment for their family. Typically a renter will move after their lease expires each year. This leads to their family feeling uneasy and does not allow them to establish strong roots. Children tend to do better in school when their home life is a constant.

5. Build Credit

Owning a home builds credit for the borrowers on the house. This can help you receive loans down the road and allow you more financial options if the need arises. Keeping up with monthly payments and paying on time will allow your credit score to rise over the time of owning your home.

6. Gain Pride

A home gives an owner something to be proud of. A homeowner works hard toward improving and maintain the house, and it is something to build self-confidence and gain pride over.

Homeownership comes along with a number of great benefits to reap for the owner. Whether it is financial or personal gains, owning a home can be a very beneficial venture. If you are ready to take a leap into homeownership, contact the best real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks. We can help you narrow down what you want and need in a home, and then find the perfect match according to that information. Contact Eagle’s Nest Realty at (573) 280-0769 to schedule a consultation about buying a home at the Lake of the Ozarks.
