Enhance Your Walkway... You can boost your homes' look by adding a brick‐ or stone‐paved walkway to the front of your house. Dress it up even more by adding some solar‐powered walkway lights. They will make your home more inviting by adding more ambiance.

Plant New Flowers and Trees... Another easy and inexpensive way to improve the look of your home is to plant some new flowers and/or trees. Adding some new color can make a big difference in brightening up your homes' appearance and make it look more cheery to prospective buyers.

Add Window Treatments... They say windows can be the soul of your house, so it is important to dress up your home by dressing up your windows.

You will be amazed at how much a simple thing can improve your homes' appeal.

Replace your Front Door... You might think it would not make a difference, but changing the front door can change the entire look of your home. Replace that stale and plain‐looking door with a nice wooden one with a decorative, beveled window.
