As a Missouri Homeowner, Now's the Time to Prepare Your Home to Sell
As the weather warms up in Missouri, June is the perfect time for homeowners thinking about selling to make strategic upgrades—and curb appeal should be at the top of your list.
Why Curb Appeal Matters in June:
Missouri’s summer real estate market tends to heat up in late June and July. With more buyers on the move and school out for the summer, first impressions can make or break a sale. A well-maintained exterior signals to buyers that the rest of the home is just as cared for.
Easy Curb Appeal Boosters:
- Fresh Mulch & Landscaping: Missouri’s lush greenery shines in early summer. Add mulch to flower beds, trim hedges, and plant native perennials like black-eyed Susans or coneflowers for low-maintenance beauty.
- Power Wash Walkways and Siding: Winter and spring grime can dull your home’s exterior. A good power wash can make siding, porches, and driveways look almost new.
- Upgrade Your Front Door: A fresh coat of paint in a bold, welcoming color can create a striking focal point. Don’t forget to polish or replace hardware for an updated look.
- Outdoor Lighting: Longer days mean more evening showings. Solar pathway lights or a new porch fixture make your home feel inviting and safe.
Bonus Tip: Missouri summers can be humid—ensure your gutters are clean and your downspouts are draining properly to prevent foundation or basement issues, which buyers will notice during inspection.
Whether you're listing soon or just want to add value, enhancing curb appeal in June can give your home a competitive edge in Missouri's active summer real estate market.
