14 Sneaky Mistakes that can decrease your Homes Value


  1. Choosing a crazy exterior color 
"Curb appeal is huge, don't pick a paint color that isn't common in your neighborhood or doesn't fit the style of your home." -Pam Baldwin Foarde of Al Filippone Associates/William Raveis

2. Landscaping without a plan 
"Planting trees too close to the house or driveway - without considering how big they're going to get - creates major problems later. Roots can cause breaks in the pavement that might raise your homeowners insurance or make it hard for you get a policy until the problem is fixed. Before you plant anything, think about how it will look in twenty years." -Chris Winn of Kellar Williams/Advantage Group

3. Ignoring your entryway 
"Having a front door lock that doesn't work properly or hardware that looks old and pitted makes buyers uneasy and puts them on high alert for what else has been let go in the house." -Donna Marie Baldwin
of Coldwell Banker
