Super-Easy Landscaping Changes That'll Sell Your House

First impressions are everything, especially in real estate. What your home looks like on the outside plays an important role in selling your home. Fortunately, you don't have to do a full makeover or invest thousands of dollars to add curb appeal to your property. Try these easy, simple changes to help you cinch the deal. 

Add Colourful Annuals

There's nothing like bright colours to bring out the beauty of your home. From petunias to dahlias, these annuals are low-maintenance and will look great during the length of your listing. Place them around your home and by the front door. 

Tidy Up

An easy way to spruce up your landscape is to freshen up the edges of your garden beds. This will leave clean, crisp lines while preventing weeds and the lawn from creeping into your garden. Finish off by adding a layer of fresh mulch around your shrubs and garden beds. 

Get Rid Of Weeds

Nobody likes doing it, but it has to get done. Pulling out weeds will not only make your lawn look nicer, but it'll also prevent your plants from becoming susceptible to pests and diseases. 

Remove Brown Spots From The Grass

Nothing ruins a beautiful patch of grass like an unsightly brown spot. They can be caused by a number of things, including fungus, poor soil quality, excessive moisture, over-fertilization, or even dog urine. Figure out what's causing the brown patches and treat them right away. 

Install Bright Lights

Your home should look good no matter what time of day it is. Buyers may be driving through in the evenings after work, and if your home is too dark, they might just drive right on by. Add sconces around your doors including the garage door. If you want to show off your garden or certain architectural features, uplights will create the perfect amount of light. And lastly, light up the path leading up to your door; this will make your home feel extra welcoming.

Homeownership in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) became more affordable in March 2025 compared to the previous year. On average, both borrowing costs and home prices have declined over the past year, making monthly payments more manageable for households looking to buy a home. “Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power. Once consumers feel confident in the economy and their job security, home buying activity should improve,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “Given the current trade uncertainty and the upcoming federal election, many households are likely taking a wait-and-see approach to home buying. If trade issues are solved or public policy choices help mitigate the impact of tariffs, home sales will likely increase. Home buyers need to feel their employment situation is solid before ...
