Well, looking outside it seems that summer may finally be here!

The real estate market may be slower this time of year but it is a great time to make the most of your home's curb appeal. Here are some quick and easy ideas:

1. Make sure the lawn is mowed and neatly edged. Water and fertilize to keep it green and full. If the lawn seems to be a lost cause, remember that even an unhealthy lawn that is neatly manicured makes a good first impression.
2. Add a layer of bark mulch to the flower beds. There is no easier way to freshen up the look of a yard, and help keep the weeds down in the short term.
3. Make sure all existing plants are healthy and neatly pruned. Pull out any that are dead or dying.
4. Plant summer annuals, focusing on the areas adjacent to the front walkway where they will be noticed. These are inexpensive plants, so where you use them, really pack them in. When you are selling, there is no time for them to grow and fill out the space.
5. Place an attractive urn full of brightly coloured flowers on the front step to welcome potential buyers.
