Don't Let Your House Be The Ugly House on the Block!
Even though we are entering February it is time to walk the parameter of your home to see what types of repairs are needed this spring.
I did this very thing and realized someone has been failing at their job. Some of the things I noted were that it was time to replace all outside water faucets. The ones that were still usable appeared to be on their last leg. One was non existent and had been since we purchased the home. We had planned on fixing it but out of site and out of mind, and it fell off our mental to-do list.
The other things were some of the soffits need to be replaced along with the screen venting. It appears some critters won out in their determination to get into condo living in our attic. There are bigger issues too.
The big ticket items come in with a new roof, garage doors, and a front door. These are things that may or may or may not be needed; but I want to keep the value of our home as high as possible. I also would like to have a new driveway poured or have a brick driveway installed. Just for fun I would like to have my back patio removed and rebuild a new one with a stove and refrigerator. Like I said some of these items are not needed but would be great to have.
Keeping your property in tip top shape will keep the value of your home. It also provides a safe environment for your family. Let’s go one step further and say it will make your neighborhood block appealing thereby keeping property values high and making your neighborhood desirable to live in.
All Realtors know if the neighborhood looks bad so will the values. Don’t let your house be the ugly house on the block.
