\u201cNo one wants to go look at 30 houses anymore. They want to go see five and pick one. Don’t be eliminated because you didn’t do the easy fixes,\u201d says Ashley Luther<\/a>, a top-selling real estate agent in Nashville area.<\/p>\n

The stakes for curb appeal<\/a> are already high with 99% of Realtors agreeing your yard and home exterior need a refresh<\/a> before you put up the for-sale sign. As a seller, you must make your property enticing for those driving by or viewing your home online, otherwise you risk them moving onto the next listing without giving yours any notice.<\/p>\n

Throw in a split-level<\/a> to the curb appeal mix and things get more complicated.<\/p>\n

Landscaping a split-level home requires special planning you don\u2019t have to think about with a single-level. It calls for different considerations when it comes to drainage, and because a split-level looks different from the street, it even means you\u2019ll get to put that high-school geometry knowledge to use.<\/p>\n

HomeLight chatted with a landscape architect with 35 years of experience and a vetted real estate agent who\u2019s sold every type of property in the book. We also consulted dozens of articles on landscaping websites like Landscaping Network and Architectural Digest. Let’s walk through why split-level curb appeal is different and several ways to make your unique home attractive to buyers\u2014whether it’s from the street or the Zillow listing.<\/p>\n
