Whether you are hoping to sell your North Scottsdale home or simply want to fix it up so you can enjoy it for years, there are a few easy ways to make it look more appealing from the outside. The best part is that many of these improvements are fast and easy to do, allowing you to start enjoying the results within a few days!
1. Replace Your Exterior Doors
Replacing your front door with an upgraded option is among the easiest ways to improve curb appeal at your home. A wrought-iron door is one of the most popular replacements for modern homes, since it’s both elegant and durable. Once you replace your front door, you can work on finding a replacement for your garage door, since this is another great way to increase curb appeal. The carriage style is a popular choice for homes in DC Ranch.
2. Illuminate Your Landscape with Lights
If you have a walkway leading up to your front door, you can light the way with some path lights on each side. You can also highlight some of your favorite shrubs in your yard by putting a small spotlight under each one to draw the eye directly to your rose bushes or other pretty plants in the landscape.
3. Touch Up Your Exterior Paint
If your house is more than a few years old, it might benefit from some fresh paint. But before you paint your Scottsdale home, make sure the property really needs it. If it’s only looking a little dull on the outside, take your hose and spray off the exterior to get rid of the dust and dirt that builds up over time. It might look like a whole new house after that. If you still see some room for improvement, consider just repainting the trim, the front door, or any areas where the paint looks chipped or faded.
4.Add an Artistic Touch
Maybe the front of your house looks fine, but houses that look “fine” don’t sell as fast as houses that look amazing. You can add some pizazz to the exterior of your home – and make it memorable – by setting up a water feature of some sort. This could be a water fountain or a birdbath. Even adding some wind chimes to your porch or a small statue for your yard can enhance the exterior of your North Scottsdale home.

5.Tidy Up the Front of Your House
It’s the details that count when it comes to improving the outside of your North Scottsdale home. So even if nothing needs to be repaired or replaced, you can make a difference by simply cleaning the area. Start by sweeping your porch, cleaning your windows, and wiping down the surface of the front door. Make sure your yard is in tip top shape by getting rid of any weeds, trimming the bushes, and mowing the lawn before you invite any guests – especially homebuyers – over to your North Scottsdale home.
