Summer is in full swing and The North Georgia Group has come up with some easy and helpful tips to keep your lawn looking green and healthy all summer long! Their first tip is to water your lawn as needed instead of watering it on a routine schedule. If your lawn receives enough water by rainfall in a week (about an inch), there is no need for you to waste your money watering your yard. Also, you can use common household items like a ruler or screwdriver to determine when your lawn needs to be cut, how much needs to be cut and when your lawn needs to be watered. Finally, a well running lawn mower can be the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy lawn. Keeping your lawn mower fresh by changing the oil and doing routine maintenance each year is an inexpensive and simple way to keep your yard looking fresh and well kept all summer! To view the full list of tips and explanations see the full article here. Visit www.Peachtree Residential.com for more information on new homes that are ready to close and can be “your yard” soon!  All new home neighborhoods are in great locations in superior school districts!

Marie Dinsmore with RE/MAX ALL PROPERTIES shared a great article on curb appeal for your home in her Real Estate Newsletter for June.  Looking to sell your home and buy a new Peachtree Residential home in a fabulous Forsyth or Fulton county location?  When considering the mysteries of what attracts the ultimate buyer, few will deny that curb-appeal definitely helps sell a home!  Here is the information she shared…The term is a buzz word for the enticing image of your home as seen from the street, and is similar to the adage of judging a book by its cover.  Curb appeal is key when buyers are looking through multiple listings, getting a feel for neighborhoods from the comfort of their cars.  Often, buyers will look at advertisements and listings online or in print, and if they are local will take a peek on their way home from work.   Money spent in improving the  view is among the smartest investment.  Simply put, painting and pruning trees and shrubbery can transform a home, helping to shed light on its features.

Other aspects of the approach to a home can be equally enticing and help to pave the way for a successful interior viewing. After all, when care is taken to the outside of a home, people feel that the interior will also have what they are looking for. Driveways and walkways that are well maintained and artfully presented greet potential buyers as soon as they step out of their vehicles.

One helpful exercise is to take time to view a home with curb-appeal in mind. At each juncture where a potential buyer might approach and view your home or property, stop and look around. Notice details. Take photographs. Look straight ahead, to the right and left, and even at the ground. If there are appealing features, play those up. If there are issues that block the enjoyment of the home, you can choose to address them. In each instance, seek to frame the view of the home or property in an appealing light, tending to the ground under foot, the areas close to the viewer, and that which they see.

The Results of curb-appeal come when assessing views from inside the home and at various places on the property. All views are important because they are attention-getting elements of the property you are selling. Views are memorable, and a bad one can deter potential buyers.  Follow these tricks for creating the best impression:

• Ensure that the yard and landscaping is neat, tidy, and well-maintained. Seek to flatter the home first, then to show off your gardening skills. Freshly pruned vegetation illustrates careful stewardship.
• If flowering plants are past their prime, trim them back and add in some seasonal plants for color. Re-edge and add mulch to existing beds. Plants in containers may be easily changed out or positioned where they are most needed, and if you invest in nice pots, you can take them with you.
•   Control growth of large trees to optimize light and safety of the home and surrounding buildings and property. Remove debris under trees daily, if needed.
•   Pay close attention to the front door and garage doors, including paint or stain condition and color, hardware and details ? these doors command a lot of attention. Consider adding seasonal decorations like a wreath or potted plants near the door.
•   Clean steps, ensuring that they are free of scratches, chips, moss or signs of wear. Repair or upgrade handrails when appropriate.
•  A new Welcome Mat at the door will not only make a statement, it is also an invitation for viewers to wipe their feet as they enter the home.
• Investing in new and unique numbers for your home not only makes it easy to identify, but can set it apart with flare.
• Pressure wash the exterior of your home and ensure the gutters and roof are clean.
• Assess and improve the driveway and any walkways to and around the home.
• Upgrade lighting by doors and pathways. Providing safe and stylish lighting will make your home stand out in viewings throughout the day and evening.
• Upgrade your mailbox.
• Ensure that windows and screens are clean and well-maintained.
• Familiarize yourself with views from decks and various rooms, and improve those views when possible.
• Decks can be used year-round in many places. Spruce up your deck, porch or patio and show what an inviting space it can be to potential buyers.
