How to Add Curb Appeal in the Winter

What comes to mind when you envision curb appeal? Colorful flowers? A meticulously mowed and weeded lawn? New paint and a nice sitting area? All good efforts, but how do you create curb appeal in the winter?

There are a few important things you can do to make your home's exterior inviting even on the grayest, coldest days. For starters, keep the driveway and sidewalks clear. Clear away anything that distracts the eye from the beauty of the home and/or obstructs access to the entrance. Consider how you could enhance the exterior of the home with nice, simple decor.

After you have done all you can to enhance the exterior, compensate by presenting a well-kept interior. Touch up or repaint and add floral arrangements in the entry. The aroma of fresh baked cookies or bread are warm and inviting and a welcome treat when left for the buyers.
