First impressions make a big difference, and the first impression of any home begins with curb appeal. Potential buyers see the exterior of the home before anything else, so giving it a facelift can do wonders for the perceived value. Creating nice curb appeal doesn't have to break the bank, either. Often, simple and inexpensive fixes can make a huge difference when it comes to any home's exterior. These surefire ways to create curb appeal will add value to any home.

Check on the Roof

Many homeowners don't get the chance to monitor or maintain their roof's integrity very often. Roofs, however, are a large part of any home's curb appeal. Take the time to inspect your roof; it may need a simple cleaning job or something more serious like repair or replacement. Missing shingles, chipped trip paint, or bent gutters all need repairing before selling.

Add a Coat of Fresh Paint

One of the most recommended ways to create curb appeal and raise home value is fresh paint. Find a color that matches the rest of the home and make sure to cover all trim also. If hiring a professional painting company is out of the question, simply scrape down old or worn down areas and ask a hardware store to find a paint color match. Avoid bold color statements; appraisers won't value a house with too much color. 

Pay Attention to the Mailbox 

As simple as it may seem, replacing the mailbox on a home can create curb appeal and value for the home sale. Starting at around twenty dollars, new mailboxes make a home look fresh, updated, and clean. Most mailboxes are fairly straightforward to replace, and well worth the time and investment.
