Making your Home Stand Out

Make Your Home Stand Out
Published on February 16, 2019

Regardless of the season or time of day, it can be difficult to make a home stand out. It can be even more challenging when there are poor weather conditions. Rain, snow, fog or any other type of weather condition can hide the best aspects of a home both exterior and interior. To prevent this from happening, homeowners can utilize these tips and tricks to make their home stand out.

Install High Quality Exterior Lighting

During the winter and spring, the days are fairly short. Similarly, these seasons are also filled with harsh weather conditions that can hinder the vision of a buyer. This makes it harder for them to assess the true curb appeal of a home. Sellers that want to make it easier for buyers to see their home should install high-quality exterior lighting. Installing these features can make it easier for potential buyers to appreciate the home’s exterior. Homeowners that really want to make their house more noticeable should purchase some LED lights.

Install Noticeable Address Numbers

Many houses will have small or missing address numbers. Before putting a house on the real estate market, the seller should install some noticeable, but tasteful, address numbers. Avoid using darker colors like black or brown. Instead, go with bright, distinct colors like silver, gold or even white. This will prevent mix-ups in the future and it will make it easier for potential buyers to remember the address.

Advertise your Home Online

Regardless of how bad the weather gets, homeowners can find creative ways to make their home more noticeable. One of the best ways to do this is by advertising online. Homeowners can post photos on their social media pages. Tech-savvy homeowners can even post content to different real estate websites. This gives the house more exposure and allows people to see it even if the weather conditions deter people from leaving their home.

Keep the Lights on Inside of the Home

One of the final things that homeowners can do to make their house more noticeable is keeping the interior lights on. Although this may sound unorthodox, it is effective. The interior light will pour out of the windows. This will shed some light on the exterior features like the landscaping or garden. When this happens, passersby will be able to get a better look at the exterior of the home; even on the darkest and stormiest nights.

During the winter and spring, it isn’t uncommon to get long stretches of poor weather. This can make it difficult for home sellers to attract people to their homes. Sellers that are in this predicament can try installing high-quality lighting and installing noticeable address numbers. These sellers can also advertise online and keep the lights on inside their home. These simple tricks can dramatically help any seller that is having a hard time getting exposure.
