Selling Palos Verdes real estate for the highest price requires many different components all working together.  One of those components is making Palos Verdes homes capture buyers with the best possible curb appeal.

I recently read an article by Laura Gaskill who runs a great blog on house ideas.  She published 17 ideas on how to improve “Curb Appeal”

  1. Add big bold house numbers.  Next time you’re driving around and looking at Palos Verdes real estate, take note of the houses that feature this.  Do they look better?  Match up the style of the home with the fonts.  For example, use a clean sans serif font for a modern house, maybe hand painted tiles for Palos Verdes real estate that is more “cottage” like in nature.
  2. Paint the front door.  A front door that “pops” really improves Palos Verdes real estate curb appeal.  You might even consider getting a new front door.

  3. If your Palos Verdes real estate home has a porch, get new porch furniture

  4. Swap out that old grungy porch light with a big statement making light to show off Palos Verdes real estate

  5. Add a hot red accent; but don’t get carried away.  A little bit goes a long way to add vibrancy to Palos Verdes real estate

  6. Freshen up the hardscaping.  A simple path, or a low stone wall adds texture to Palos Verdes homes.

  7. While you’re at it, don’t forget about your side yards.  Clear out weeds and manicure a nice path to the back yard of your Palos Verdes real estate

  8. Check with your city, whether Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates or Rancho Palos Verdes and see about adding a low fence that is approvable.  Fences can make Palos Verdes houses look bigger

  9. Making Palos Verdes real estate stand out in front of the competition is key in getting the best price possible.  Another way to do this is to dig up part of your front lawn and plant textured height perennials.

  10. How’s the driveway looking for your Palos Verdes real estate?  Shabby?  Cracked?  Get it fixed.

  11. One of the biggest visual features of any Palos Verdes real estate is the garage door.  It takes up a lot of “visual real estate”.  Is it shabby looking?  Consider painting it.

  12. For Palos Verdes homes with decks and the marine atmosphere in which we live, they can take a beating.  Strip it and refinish.

  13. Before I forget and back to the subject of front doors, consider getting a good looking door knocker and hardware.  Palos Verdes homes with plain doors can be livened up with this simple addition

  14. Laura seems to have a focus on front doors and one of the other tips she gives is getting an unusual front door.  Now for Palos Verdes real estate, especially in Palos Verdes Estates with the Homes Association, this can be a bit tricky.

  15. Create “cohesion” between your Palos Verdes real estate and the plants and pots around the house.  For example, more modern Palos Verdes homes would match up well with succulents and more traditional homes with lush beds of flowers

  16. For me, the visual imprint of Palos Verdes real estate flows from the three dimensional perspective to the two dimensional pathways.  Do they match up?

  17. And lastly for Palos Verdes real estate in the townhome or condo category, add window planters, glossy color appropriate shutters and good lighting to accent what you have.
