Spring Home Sprucing for Boston Real Estate

A new season is here and many home sellers in Boston are newly confident not just in the local real estate market, but in their ability to sell quickly and at the right price. But that coveted real estate transaction doesn't come without work! First, a bit of spring cleaning is in order, especially to boost curb appeal at your Boston homes. Boston homebuyers are looking for inviting properties this spring and with these tips you can make a great impression:

Spruce Up the Yard
What is the first thing you notice when looking for homes in Boston? The exterior! It's a great idea to start your spring sprucing with the yard. Messy yards don't exactly leave homebuyers with a positive feeling when they walk through the door. This spring, clean up the yard and remove all debris, including weeds. Also be sure to mow your yard to a short length and trim all of the flowers, shrubs, and trees.

Spruce Up the Exterior
It was a long, harsh winter and your home probably shows signs of that. Spring is the time to wash away all dirt and grime that has shown up on your home's exterior. Homebuyers will appreciate a clean home, even from the outside, and especially now that confidence is booming in the Boston real estate market.

Spruce Up the Flowers
If you're preparing to sell your Boston home, landscaping should be on your mind. Adding curb appeal by planting flowers, adding new trees, well-manicured shrubs and edging can really complete your yard this season. Take a look at the other homes in your neighborhood— are you impressed by a certain property's landscaping? Consider that when sprucing your yard. Homebuyers will likely be impressed by the same at your home.

Spruce Up the Lighting
Boosting your home's curb appeal may have placed it at the top of a Boston homebuyer's must-see list. Next up, add exterior lighting or replace your current fixtures to bring all of your home's best features to light, even after dark. If a homebuyer scouts the property when the sun goes down, your home will still be able to shine.
