It's the first day of Spring!!
It doesn't feel like it however, it is only 7 degrees out. But, while showing homes last Saturday I was walking around the exterior of a house with my client checking out the siding (very important) and I saw some tulips trying to shoot up through the snow and brush!! So I have faith we will have pretty flowers soon.
Pretty flowers = curb appeal = tips for selling your home
I think having a colorful pot of flowers on your front doorstep in the spring and summer and fall help create an inviting entrance when selling your home. I go overboard of course because gardening is one of my hobbies. I always get comments from visitors and neighbors though about how great the gardens look and my thought is to sell my home in the summer so people can see how awesome the plants look. But then I am torn....because I have many perennials that I don't want to leave behind. Would it be odd for me to list my home but specifically exclude my perennial garden? I've actually seen it happen before!
Since we can't really put pretty flowers outside right now, we can get ready for the spring indoors and start seeds, or even pick up a few house plants to help clean the air. I think a little bit of greenery right about now makes people feel good too. Check out these houseplants that also have air purifying abilities:
1. Bamboo Palm - removes formaldehyde, acts as a natural humidifier.
2. Snake Plant - absorbs nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde
3. Areca Palm - one of the best for general air cleanliness
4. Spider Plant - removes carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities
5. Peace Lily - removes mold spores, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene
6. Gerbera Daisy - removes benzene, improves sleep by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off more oxygen overnight
