Curb appeal is a major factor in selling a home, and a down-turn in real estate means that home sellers need to find inexpensive ways to improve their chances. Budget-Awnings.com, with almost two decades of residential awning experience, can help home sellers improve their home's appearance effectively with eye-catching yet inexpensive retractable awnings. Phone support, instant messaging, and live chat customer service representatives are available to help with advice to guide homesellers through the process of selecting, installing, and positioning retractable awnings.

Energy savings from retractable awnings can increase the value of a home as much as $3500; the curb appeal varies between cities, but has an important affect on how long a home remains on the market. The benefits of retractable awnings on resale value make it important for retractable awnings companies to reach out to home sellers, according to Eric Scop V.P. Sales and Internet Marketing for Budget-Awnings.com.

"Real estate may be about location, location, location," said Scop, "but it's also about appearance." As summer – the peak months for home selling – continues, Budget-Awnings.com is assisting homesellers by offering support resources that make it easier to select the right kind of awning and find the most effective location to install it.

This kind of real-time customer service is nearly unheard of for other online awning retailers. For more information on contacting Budget-Awnings.com's customer services, see http://budget-awnings.com/awnings-contact.htm

For sellers and buyers alike, Budget-Awnings.com has identified what aspects of retractable awning information increase the curb appeal of any home, townhouse, or office:
• Select bright, true colors to make an instant, effective visual impact. The most popular color is forest green, but consider yellows, reds, and blues for a trendy, eye-catching fabric.
• Position awnings over windows in the front of the home or office. When used as design elements, window retractable awnings create a new architectural look for the front facade of a building, without any construction.
• Install awnings over flowerbeds that receive direct afternoon sunlight to help protect flowers and plants from sun damage and to cut down on how frequently you need to water.
• Over 60% of residential retractable awnings have a striped fabric rather than solid. For a crisp, contemporary look, get a wide stripe in basic black and white; for a traditional pattern, look for a blend with forest green and brown.
• Use retractable awnings to delineate an outdoor area. A new trend in landscaping is to create outdoor "rooms" for cooking, sitting, and playing, says the American Society of Landscape Architects. Retractable awnings clearly define spaces.
• Flaunt the energy efficiency! According to a study commissioned by the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association, retractable awnings can save as much as $250 per year on electrical usage, decrease air conditioning use by 25%, and lower indoor temperatures by 8 to 15 degrees.
