Timing is crucial to clinching a sale on the real estate market. Coincidentally, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors, 74% of Americans believe now is a good time to sell a home. Plus, economists don’t think this is about to change anytime soon, thanks to historically low mortgage rates.

If you want to attract prospective buyers, you’ll need to spruce up your exterior and enhance your property’s curb appeal. D-Wing Construction, a top roofing contractor in the state, shares some tips below to help you do just that:

Remove Clutter 

Remove some of the plant pots and outdoor furniture on your front lawn, only leaving the pieces that fit in with your facade’s design scheme. Prospective buyers often look for a clean, streamlined appearance when looking for houses on the market.

Spruce Up Your Front Door

The front door is the first thing prospective buyers will see when they enter your home, so it’d be a good idea to spruce it up a bit. Remember, first impressions last. You can place a welcome rug on your doorstep or apply a fresh coat of paint to your door. Of course, paint won’t do your exterior any good if the door’s too worn. In which case, it’d be better to replace it.

Clean Your Siding 

Aside from your front door, another part of your exterior that you need to pay attention to is your siding, the biggest—and therefore the most visible—part of your exterior. It’d be a good idea to clean if your siding, and if you notice any extensive cracks, call a siding expert right away..

Keep It Consistent 

If you do need to replace parts of your exterior, make sure the new parts complement the rest of the exterior. Coordinating colors and textures can be tricky though. If you’re having trouble with the design, it’d be a good idea to consult an experienced contractor.
