In most markets, brick tends to hold value better and is usually more appealing to buyers than siding. It’s also durable and many insurance companies view brick exteriors favorably. If the brick doesn’t look great right now, you might consider improving it instead of covering it up. Cleaning it, limewashing it, or adding some stone accents can dramatically improve curb appeal without losing the value brick provides. Every market is a little different, but generally speaking brick is a safer choice when you’re preparing to sell.
