Thanks for the suggestions! There is a small tree a little further back that isn’t seen in the photos.

Lack of landscaping and the narrow steps are a turn-off, IMO. Lantern lights need to be 1/3 of the front door's height.

Thanks! We’ve added railing to help with the stair area. I will look into some lighting options!

It is the visual narrowness of the steps that ruins the curb appeal, IMO. They should be as wide as the porch and would need only one railing in that case. The first few moments on your property has the power to make or break a sale. A prospect would see the steps and immediately see a project to sink money into. At first glance, I thought those were temporary construction steps.

For a flip, just add landscape and stage to sell.

Wooden stair replacement with wider stairs? Paint garage door dark grey?

Replace the steps with wider steps up to a porch, as above.

Remove the dead tree in the back yard.

Paint the door next to the garage white.

Paint the front door red.

Add pots of flowers at a minimum. If it's the right time for planting in your area, get a good landscaping plan, then install the new landscaping. If it's not the right time to plant, put some good fertilizer on the lawn and water it in well.

Add big house numbers.

It looks like it's missing its faux shutters.

Depends upon demand in your area. In my area, high demand, it would sell the first day with multiple offers. But if it’s not in a high demand area I would just add some landscaping & call it a day. Buyers will be more impressed by what’s been done inside.

Keep it simple. Add a few fall flowers -- chrysanthemums are cheap and look good this time of year and call it done. Plant a couple in the flower bed, put two in matching pots at the foot of the stairs.

It's a nice house but let the new owner decide what else needs doing.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I see some great ideas that I'd implement if I were living here but aren't necessarily feasible given the circumstances. We'll move forward with seasonal (fall) landscaping, sealing the drive, and finishing the railing.

The doors have actually been painted. We could repaint them but given how subjective paint colors are, I'd rather allocate the funds elsewhere. Possibly a hanging sign or other decor to complement the new landscaping. Again, thanks for the suggestions! The Houzz forum never fails to provide great feedback.

I'm attaching a couple shots of the inside for anyone who's interested!

Nice, light & neutral. That’s what is going to sell your house.
