3 Tips for Staging Outdoor Spaces

You’ve cleaned your house and arranged the rooms to showcase the best features. But what about your outdoor spaces? Don’t underestimate the power of highlighting the exterior property to boost the home’s value. Here are three strategies to get your outdoor space looking as impressive as the inside:

Enhance the Entrance

Create a great first impression. Don’t let overflowing gutters, mildew on exterior stone, or peeling paint spoil the welcome. If needed, pressure wash the driveway, install a new door, or stain the fence.

Remove Distractions

Lawn decorations like statues and garden gnomes are fun ways to include your personality when living in your home, but buyers are looking for a home they see themselves in. Remember to put away gardening tools, yard equipment, and kid toys.

Set an Expectation

Just like you would do with a kitchen or living room, arrange the outdoor furniture to show potential buyers the extra opportunities to dine, entertain, and unwind.
