Curb Appeal
So you want to sell your home? If you are thinking about putting your house on the market, there are several things to consider before doing so. Now that the real estate market has cooled off, selling your home can be difficult, especially if you are unprepared.
Creating curb appeal is one of the most important issues when competing in todays real estate market. Without it, buyers will more than likely not even think about viewing the inside of your home: Of course, unless youve priced your home much less than all the other comparable homes in your neighborhood. Under-pricing your home is not always the best thing to do, especially if you have a considerable amount of money invested in your home. Therefore, you need to prepare your home to sell according to what homebuyers expect to get when purchasing a home to be in the running.
Having curb appeal simply means showing the front exterior and yard of your home as neat, appealing and well-maintained, with that gotta have it appearance. What do most buyers expect to see when they look at a home? Well, peeling paint, weedy grass, empty planting beds and broken fences are not things homebuyers like to see when they view a home. This means work, work and more work for them and that puts your house at the bottom of their list of homes to consider purchasing. If you dont want to scare off potential buyers, these things need to be taken care of before you put your house on the market. First impressions are lasting impressions when it comes to any real estate market. But, dont be discouraged. This certainly doesnt mean you have to completely renovate your home in order to sell it.
Try driving by your home first and take a good look at it. You may like the way it looks, but would a prospective buyer like it enough to spend their hard earned money on it? Creating a look that is pleasing to the eye is not that difficult. Basic improvements in the front landscaping and front exterior of your home is usually all that is needed to generate curb appeal. This is the best place to start when preparing your home for a sale.
To get a general idea of what buyers desire in a home, just leaf through a few home and garden magazines. Even though most of the homes depicted in the photographs are not the norm, most people are media-oriented, so presenting the front of your home and yard as visually appealing will at least get their feet in your door. Once homebuyers start imagining themselves living in your home, then you have certainly won half the battle when it comes to selling your home in a cool real estate market.

For Went together well but needs two people to fit the lid. Main issue is that it is not weather-proof, heavy rain can blow in through the gap between the lid and the walls. It has has lots of places for wildlife to get in and set up home among the contents eg wasps and hornets, ants and mice which could either damage contents or give a nasty surprise if not regulary checked for. Soft furnishings would need to be kept in sealed vacuum bags to prevent mould from internal high humidity.Found condensation under the lid after chilly night. Not really designed for the British climate, unfortunately as it is a good size and appears strongly made. Otherwise it would be good value for money. Took nearly a month to arrive but probably due to Covid 19. More secure and easier to move around if it had locking points at each end of the lid which bends if you lift at the ends. There are hand holds at the ends but these are very shallow and not easy to lift by

I was initially pleased with my purchase which was attractive and sturdy. However, as soon as it rained the item became rusty around the back and seats, this within a week of purcase. So disappointed, completely unable to use the seats now as this would stain clothing.

Ordered 2 for my kitchen as end chairs. They came fully assembled and packed very securely. Fairly comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. This chair is well built and pretty, very happy with this purchase.

I am so glad o bought this sofa set. I purchased it as I thought it seemed good value for money and also everyone else’s reviews really sold it to me. I built it myself, it did take a few hours but it was straightforward enough and the instructions were clear. We got it in time for Easter weekend and the weather was glorious so we made good use of it. I love it, it’s so comfortable and it’s lovely and big too so we can all sit on it. I love it and pray for sunny days so we can use it. I’ve put a throw on it as well just to make sure the kids don’t run the cushions. The only reason I took a star off is because the delivery I felt was just not very accommodating. Your not given a choice of dates and I got a date which was no good to me as I had to work. I had no idea how to rearrange the delivery and tell them I wasn’t in, only be chance the delivery was delayed by two hours which meant I just managed to arrive outside the house a few minutes after the delivery van. I think www.boisecloggers.com need to a look at a way that some agreement can be reached over the day the item is delivered.

The kids constantly had their helmets, baseball gloves etc all over the deck at the cabin. I ordered this stylish storage bin so I didn't have to look at it. It looks great on the deck and serves as an extra seat too! It was super easy to put together and just looks like another piece of furniture!

Does the job very well and looks the part! Cushion cover is vinyl - practical but fabric would be nicer. Good value for he money - the only real downside for me is that I have big feet and some the shoes have to lay sideways - but a pair of Timberland boots will still fit (just)!

I really really adore these bistro patio chairs. They work well with this beautiful outdoor table. I was pleasantly surprised the know that they are a metal base instead of wood. Such a classic and fun look!

Quite tricky in places to assemble. Suggest starting with the table or stool. The corner units have a very awkward couple of bolts to tighten. Do assemble loosely before tightening up as suggested, the rattan is slippy. That said you do get some spares and a set of nifty tools to assemble with though an extra couple of heads for the Allen key ratchet would be useful. The cushions are very lightweight so will probably blow away in a brisk breeze. Also the fabric is very synthetic feeling. That said the foam seems comfortable. Overall looks good and the suggested cover is very well made and substantial

It is a flat pack unit, it is better than expected (we brought 2 and have them next to each other). Put together properly it is strong, please check the dimensions it is compact. But then that fits our hall way, I have size 12 feet and the shoes 'just' fit maybe a little over-hang and the shoes have to go at a bit of an angle but they do fit. For the price, i would say better than expected.

Large watertight storage box capable of storing cushions for a 9 seater rattan lounge suite. Fast lead time. A small part was buckled and it was replaced within the week. Great customer service thank you!

Easy to assemble and very solid bench. Shaped for comfort and identical to one in John Lewis at over double the price. Bought two which weirdly were delivered same day but a few hours apart.

Not even one negative about this at all. My feet are size 10.5.. I didn’t put the backboard piece on the product for this reason and it works perfectly as intended. Looks great and also a bench! 10/10

Look cheap and tacky very disappointed. Horrible material plastic I tried to cancel it before it was delivered and they wouldn't acknowledge my emails. Now I'm stuck with this thing I feel like crying everyday to how I have paid so much money for such a cheaply made thing. I. Will never buy from wayfair ever again. So sad
