Does repainting the exterior and updating landscaping help a home sell faster?

The inside of my house is in great shape, but the outside paint is peeling and the front yard is pretty overgrown. I know curb appeal is important, but I don't want to spend weeks dealing with exterior contractors if buyers will just look past it. I'm wondering if fresh exterior paint and new shrubs are truly necessary to get top dollar.

How do I know if it's the right time to downsize and sell our family home?

Our youngest child just graduated from college and moved out of state, leaving my spouse and me in a four-bedroom house. The maintenance and yard work are starting to feel a bit overwhelming, but we are deeply attached to the neighborhood. We are trying to figure out the right timeline for selling and finding a smaller condo nearby. Should we sell while the house is still in great shape, or wait a few more years until we actually retire?
