An important fact when selling your home is that most prospective buyers do not have the money or desire to make exterior improvements shortly after moving in. Therefore, they may be more likely to move on to another property if they feel it will not require a lot of funds and energy put into it. It is in the sellers best interest to make repairs and perform maintenance (which is considered deferred maintenance to buyers) in order to make their property more appealing to buyers. With the internet being the number one medium for buyers looking for homes, the seller wants to make sure they the get them to want to view the interior of the house and not just drive by.

Most often money spent on the exterior of the house such as painting and landscaping will yield a nice return in terms of sale and investment. And, in most cases allow a quicker sale.
