What is Curb appeal?
Curb appeal is how attractive a property looks from the street — a key factor in first impressions and resale value.
Definition
Curb appeal covers everything visible from the curb: landscaping, the front entry, paint, walkways, and overall tidiness. Strong curb appeal draws buyers in and can meaningfully boost a home's perceived value.
Simple improvements — fresh paint, clean landscaping, good lighting, and a welcoming entry — often deliver an outsized return when it's time to sell.
