June is the Time to Improve Your Minnesota Home's Curb Appeal
As the snow is long gone and Minnesota finally basks in the full bloom of summer, June is the ideal time to tackle one of the most impactful real estate upgrades: curb appeal. Whether you're preparing to sell or just want to maintain property value, what your home looks like from the street can make all the difference.
Why Curb Appeal Matters in June:
- Peak Buyer Season: With school out and the weather cooperating, June kicks off the busiest time of year for homebuyers in Minnesota.
- First Impressions Count: Buyers often drive by listings before scheduling a showing. A well-maintained yard and inviting exterior can turn curiosity into action.
Simple Curb Appeal Boosters:
- Fresh Mulch & Flowers: Brighten your landscaping with seasonal perennials like Black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, and hostas—favorites in Minnesota gardens.
- Power Wash Surfaces: Sidewalks, siding, and decks likely took a beating over the winter. A quick wash can make them look brand new.
- Paint Your Front Door: A bold color like navy, red, or even a clean white can add a modern and welcoming touch.
- Check Your Roof & Gutters: June storms can be unpredictable. Make sure your roof looks solid and gutters are free of debris—buyers will notice signs of neglect.
Bonus Tip for Sellers: Consider having a professional photo shoot done during a sunny June day when your property is looking its best. Great photos make your listing stand out online—and that’s where nearly all buyers start.
