HGTV’s real estate site, FrontDoor.com, offers some ways to make a home more appealing.

• "Softwash" the roof and replace missing or damaged shingles to improve its appearance 
• Clean up the driveway and walkways. They set the tone for the rest of the home.
• Maintain the gutters. Clean out leaves and debris. Eliminate signs of water damage.
• Pay attention to details. Install attractive street numbers, door hardware and a new mailbox.
• Make the front door welcoming. Paint an old but solid one; replace one that is past its prime.
• Light it up. Decorate with attractive outdoor lighting.
• Paint offers big payoff for a low price. Just doing the shutters, trim and railings can help.
• Spruce up the lawn. Mow, pull weeds and fertilize.
• Add a WOW factor. Some beautiful plants will impress buyers.
