Winter Curb Appeal

In Utah, trying to sell your home in winter can sometime be more challenging. One difficulty is showing off your home's exterior during these cold, snowy months. Here are some tips from Realtor magazine for improving your home's curb appeal during the winter:

• Use evergreens and tall grasses, such as fountain grasses, to add splashes of green to your landscape.
• Make the front door a focal point with a large wreath adorned with a colorful ribbon. You can also place large planters full of evergreens beside the front door.
• Transform an unused bird bath or fountain into a seasonal display by adding twigs with red barries, sparkly baubles and/or winter greenery. For extra sparkle, roll twigs in glitter!
• Use clear floor spotlights to focus on the home's architecture. Keep exterior lights clean and clear of snow.
• Shovel your backyard deck or patio and leave your grill uncovered so that the buyers can envision themselves in that space. 
• Set up outdoor tables and chairs as you would during the summer months. (Just during showings.)
• Keep your front walkways and driveway clear of snow!

In addition, display pictures of your home and landscaping as they are during the summer months. This will help show prospective buyers the value of your landscaping and get you on your way to owning your new home by McArthur Homes.

Contest Winners!

Congratulations to all of our finalists in the "Beautiful Homes, Beautiful Neighborhoods" landscaping competition. We loved all of the homes and had a very hard time choosing a winner. In fact, we decided to announce two winners for this year's competition.

We chose Home #2 as the landscaping winner because of it's beautiful flower gardens. The homeowners have only been in their home a few months and their hard work this summer transformed this home into a stand-out in it's neighborhood. We are proud to have this home as one of the first completed homes in Herriman Towne Center.





Home #4 garnered the most votes, so we decided to announce a second award for "Most Enthusiastic Fans." This beautiful home is located in our Stonebridge community and is definitely one of our favorites for it's architecture and clean look.

Congratulations again to all of our finalists and to our winners. We love having homeowners like you who show pride in your home and make your neighborhoods beautiful! Thank you from everyone at McArthur Homes!
