4 Tips To Increase Your Tall Grass Naperville Home's Curb Appeal

4 Tips To Increase Your Tall Grass Naperville Home’s Curb Appeal  



Your house’s curb appeal is your opportunity to give a prospective buyer the best first impression. Since the exterior will be the first thing they will see when they pull up to your home, it's very important to make it look beautiful and welcoming. This spring, attract more prospective buyers as you increase your Tall Grass Naperville home’s curb appeal with these simple tips:

4 ways to make your Tall Grass Naperville Home look a bit more exciting.



Spruce up the lawn. Spring is the perfect time to start working on overgrowth, clearing away winter debris and planting colorful flower beds. A healthy, green lawn speaks volumes about how you, the owner, have maintained and taken care of the property. Also, make sure that branches and shrubbery are properly trimmed so that they won’t block the home’s interesting architectural features.


Light up the outside. Attractive lighting will enhance your home’s spectacular view at night. Strategically placed low-voltage lamps in the yard can help in highlighting the home’s delicate designs and interesting features.


Touch up and repair.  Give your home’s exterior some much needed TLC, after winter wear and tear. Pay closer attention to the areas not visibly noticed but get hit the most during the winter - the roof, siding and gutters. A good power wash and touch up paint trim can do wonders to your home’s curb appeal.


Accessorize your front yard. Simple additions like comfortable lawn chairs or placing a hammock in a shaded area can do a lot for your Tall Grass home for sale. Such decorations can liven up your front yard and give an impression of an easy and fun lifestyle. If you want to add some elegant touches, you can place a beautifully designed garden trellis or a magnificent fountain for flair.


A beautiful and attractive yard often leaves a positive mark on the prospective buyers.  Help them remember your home by creating a great impression. By incorporating the 4 tips mentioned above, you are on the right path in increasing your Tall Grass home’s curb appeal!

3 Reasons to Sell Your Naperville IL Home Now

3 Reasons to Sell Your Naperville IL Home Now




Thinking of putting up your Naperville IL home for sale? Now is a good time to do so. Sixty percent of home sales in 2014 are expected to take place between May and August so putting your home on the market now will increase your chances of getting the best deal for your Naperville IL home this summer. Here are some good reasons why listing your home now is the best move for you:


Put your Naperville IL Home for sale early this spring



1. Increase in home sales. The Naperville Patch, a local newspaper, reported that there was a 25% increase in homes sold in Naperville in February 2014 compared to last year. The report also stated that there has been a significant increase of up to 13.9% in the median sales price of attached single-family homes in Naperville. This increase can be attributed to the large number of home buyers who postponed their house hunting in the months of December and January due to the polar vortex. These home buyers are now eager and ready to resume their home search.


2. Low mortgage rates.  With lower mortgage rates more buyers are now capable of buying Naperville IL homes for sale. The lower monthly mortgage payment allows prospective buyers to save extra money for house-related repairs or other expenses.


3. Less competition. May and June are the popular months for sellers to list their homes but you don’t have to wait until then. If you list your home now, your property will have plenty of exposure before the market gets flooded with other Naperville homes for sale. With lots of home buyers looking into the market now and having your home listed early, you will improve your chances to snag a winning offer as quickly as possible!
