How your home appears from the curb can say a lot. A well-maintained, good-looking home attracts attention—and prospective home buyers. To keep your home in tip-top shape, try these exterior updates to boost curb appeal and increase your home’s value when it’s time to sell.

A new front door instantly enhances your home’s appearance and, what’s more, it can greatly increase resale value. A recent study by door manufacturer Therma-Tru found that upgrading the front door of a house increased the perceived value of a $190,000 home by almost $8,000. Estimates for new entry doors start around $2,500, so you could actually make back triple the money you spend.
