Home buyers often spend a lot of time driving from street to street searching properties for sale. This a good way for the home buyer to assess the neighborhoods first hand.
However, sometimes the home buyers will often slow down at a property listed for sale with a sign, do a quick visual assessment, and then drive off. The potential buyer will not bother phoning the real estate agent. They will not arrange an inspection so never get through the front door to see the entire property and what else the property has to offer.
The potential buyer will never get to see the spacious living area, the newly refurbished designer kitchen, or even the wonderful outdoor dining area in the backyard. This is because, the buyer made a quick judgement to eliminate the property listed for sale from their search, based on what they saw from the street.
There is a lesson in all this for any vendor who is trying to sell their home. First impressions do matter, street appeal is critically important. If the home for sale fails to attract potential buyers past the front gate, it doesn't really matter how amazing the property is on the inside. The potential home buyer may never get to see it.
Needless to say, a home for sale that is visually appealing from the street frontage, and appears in good condition will attract potential home buyers.
