Anything you do cosmetically to enhance curb appeal will increase the resale value of your house.
Generally the first impression your home makes to potential buyers is on their first 'drive-by'. That first impression can either open or limit your field of potential buyers based on the curb appeal of your home.
A little extra work may mean a difference in how smoothly the sale goes, how much can be asked for your home and how long it will stay on the market. Many homebuyers stretch economically to get into a home, and what you do to make the property more attractive with less work and cost for them, may work favorably to convince them that yours is a more lucrative prospect than the house across the street.
If a house obviously needs repair or maintenance, a buyer may decide to look for something that is in better condition. The good news is that many improvements that have an impact on selling a home aren't very expensive at all. Take great caution if you consider taking on a major renovation project just so that you can sell your property. There are no guarantees that you would recover the costs of a huge overhaul. Just focus on making the home attractive, clean, presentable and well maintained.
