Selling Your Home This Season

So, Fall is here and you're ready to sell?  Fall is the shortest selling season of the year, with the holidays as your deadline. But the good news is, fall buyers are serious buyers – so chances are you could get your house sold faster.  Now that you know serious buyers are coming your way….here are tips to grab their attention.

 

Curb Appeal – Landscaping is key to attracting attention

   Keep the lawn mowed, seed and fertilize if necessary.

  Rake the leaves.

 Trim trees and prune the bushes.

Plant a few fall annuals like mums to add color to your landscape, if not make sure you clear out any dead or dried up flowers that may remain from the summer.

 

Exterior – Appearance and Upkeep
 

   Clean the gutters.

   Repaint trim or house if needed

   Keep patio and backyard clutter free and inviting.

   Hang an attractive fall themed wreath on your door.

   Put out a seasonal door mat to welcome buyers.

 

Interior - Bring Autumn in.

 

   Keep the house a comfortable warm temperature. Cold is uninviting   to your buyers.

  During the fall, it will get cool enough to open the windows and freshen up the house.

   Keep adequate artificial light in every room, because your house may be shown later in the day or early evening - remember it's getting dark earlier now.

   Bring in a few logs to stack by the fireplace – accenting your fireplace.

   Avoid scary decorations for Halloween focus instead on the fall.

  Use squash, baby pumpkins, acorns and pine cones to accent around the house or porch. Bring in fall colors with a vase of dried branches or leaves and fall colored flowers.

 

Paying attention to the demands of the season can help you add that special touch that may make all the difference.
