If you’re looking to sell your home and want to have it looking its best or you are just looking to make some changes for the better in your home, don’t forget about your home’s exteriors. Improvements on the outside of your home can make your home stand out against all of the others and just make it more enjoyable for you and your family; especially during warmer summer months.
Five popular outdoor home upgrades from the real estate pros at the Equifax Finance blog are discussed in the recent article, “Increase Your Home’s Value With These Five Outdoor Upgrades.”
- Outdoor kitchens – these have become very popular lately; they make outdoor entertaining easy with an outdoor sink, fridge, bar, grill, stove, TV and more
- Fire pits – these can be installed professionally or if you’re a do-it-yourselfer, you can do it; or buy a portable fire pit from a hardware or department store
- Patio – use concrete pavers to upgrade a basic concrete patio; and add a focal point with a fountain or paved walkway
- Landscaping – new trees, bushes and plants, either planted in the ground or placed in planters on paved areas are a relatively inexpensive way to add beauty and color to your home
- Paint – a fresh coat of paint will make your home pop and it will help protect your home from the weather
