Centuries-old stick and ball games are generally thought to have preceded the game of golf as we know it today. The modern game of golf has its origins in 15th-century Scotland, and golf played over 18 holes first made its appearance in 1764 at Scotland's Old Course at St. Andrews.  

Fast forward to the 21st century, and the National Golf Association estimates that "nearly 25 million people played golf on a golf course in the United States in 2020."

To stand out as a seller in the Lakes Region of NH, you need a smart plan and expert help. At Badger Peabody & Smith Realty, our skilled real estate agents know what makes New Hampshire waterfront properties special. We can help you show off your home's best parts to people who might want to buy it.

1. Get Your Home Ready for Great Photos
   Before your house is photographed, make sure it will look its best in photos. Clear off countertops, put away personal stuff, and move furniture around to show off how roomy your place is. Let in lots of natural light by opening all the curtains and blinds. Check that all your light bulbs work, and think about putting out some fresh flowers or plants to catch the eye. If you've got a lakefront property, don't forget to clean up the dock and waterfront areas. These shots often end up as the main attraction in Lakes Region property listings.

Spring is here in New Hampshire, giving you a great chance to get your home ready for the busy selling season. Our real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty know that smart upgrades can make your property more attractive and valuable in this lively market. As you get set to put your home up for sale, think about these effective spring improvements that give you the best bang for your buck.

• Make Your Home Look Great from the Street
  First impressions have a huge impact on real estate. The outside of your house catches buyers' attention first, so curb appeal plays a key role in getting people interested in your property. Put effort into easy landscaping upgrades like new mulch, bright spring blooms, and well-groomed bushes. Clean your siding, paths, and driveway with a power washer to get rid of winter dirt. Think about giving your front door a fresh coat of paint in a friendly but neutral shade that goes well with the rest of your house. These affordable changes can make a big difference in how your home looks and set the mood for a good viewing experience.

When fixing up North Conway or Jackson homes for sale, there are plenty of projects to improve your house and increase its resale value. Replacing your windows, for instance, can have several benefits. Is it a necessary upgrade for your home or just an extra expense? Here are a few signs that it's time for new windows.

• High Energy Bills
  If your energy bills are suddenly rising, one possible cause could be air leaks around your windows. Additionally, if you have large windows that let the sunlight in, that extra heat in the middle of the day can also cause energy spikes. Replacing your old windows with new, well-sealed, energy-efficient ones can be a great way to reduce your energy usage and keep your conditioned HVAC air from leaking out of your home. You can also tell potential buyers your house has new, energy-efficient windows, boosting its appeal and resale value.
