The early part of this decade saw a sellers’ market like none previously. As tends to happen, things have swung back towards buyers. Does that mean you can’t sell your home? Nope. It just means you need to focus on the details.

Whether in a hot or cold real estate market, your world revolves around comparable homes in your greater neighborhood. Specifically, how does your house standout from others in the price range? Are there obvious differences?

If you don’t have a major upgrade, then you need to focus on the small details. You would be surprised how often a small change can make an impression on a buyer. Here are a few tweaks you can make that could result in an offer.

If you have a rectangle concrete path to your front door, it is time to break out the sledge hammer. Such paths are blah and boring. Try to use brick, stones or something else to create a unique impression.

Symmetry is a good thing to have with egress and ingress. This is particularly true for your front door. The easiest way to do this is to put two flower pots on each side of your front door. It centers the look and focuses the eye.

Windows are a great place to make a big difference in the appearancy of your home in exchange for a bit of elbow grease. One way to do this is to build plant holders below the edge of the bottom frame. Cheap and different from homes around you.

Trash is a fact of life, but should be seen as little as possible. Make your house stand out by installing vine trellis around where you keep your trash cans. Grow vines that flower on them to block any nasty trash smell.

A trellis is also great for breaking up a long, boring wall. The side of many homes is just where you can find such walls. Try using a trellis to create angles and grow different plants. It breaks up the walls and makes your home stick out.

People think of how living in homes during the day will be. This is ironic since night is the time most people spend at home. Take some time to work out a lighting plan for your landscaping that looks great and include pictures in your ads.

A unique home sticks out from comparable properties and gets offers from buyers in any market. Make the above changes and yours will be such a home.
