Compromised Curb Appeal
It’s a tough call: do you recommend that a prospective home Seller replace a still-functioning — but aesthetically challenged — capital item?
As they say, it all depends:
–on the price point;
–on the condition of the rest of the home;
–on how large the item looms in the home’s marketing and overall appeal.
So, in the case of this otherwise nicely updated 1963 Edina rambler, I think the Seller is making a mistake not re-surfacing the driveway.
My take?
The off-putting driveway is killing the home’s curb appeal — and costing the Seller (much) more than the $8k – $10k to fix it.
Plan B: photographing the home from the other, non-driveway side.
