*Colors – Use welcoming colors. Paint trim, eaves, and shutters a warm brown and brighten the front door with a deep blue or another soft color.
*Benches – Place wrought iron or wood benches beside the door or under trees in the front yard, to give the idea of welcome and comfort.
*Lighted path – Use energy-efficient solar lights to lead visitors to the front door and illuminate the entry after dark. Also use shrubs and colorful plants along the walkway to the front.
*Wall lanterns – Use lanterns on each side of the front door to welcome buyers. A dark doorway is not inviting.
*Clean the yard and front porch – don’t let clutter and trash spoil that first impression given a buyer.
These ideas should get you thinking of inexpensive quick fixes you can do to your property to make it look more inviting and get those buyers inside.
