3 Tips to Sell
Your Home This Fall
As temperatures dip and fall settles in with the
promise of winter ahead, home owners need to pay extra attention to certain
details in order to set themselves apart from the competition.
1. Maintain your landscape. Flowers aren’t exactly flourishing this time of year but
sellers should still make the most of what they have. Adding fall flowers like
mums to your front porch or deck is always a nice touch. More importantly grass
should be cut at least once per week and leaves should be cleared as much as
possible.
2. Keep your house warm. Prospective buyers will be turned off by a cold house, not
giving it the chance it deserves. Spend the extra money to make your home as
inviting and comfortable as possible. Also keep in mind that you don’t want it
to be too warm because bundled up buyers will be uncomfortable and your utility
bills will sky-rocket. I’d recommend keeping the thermostat set in the upper
60?s.
3. Let in the light. If your showing is during the day, open blinds, windows
and drapes. If not, turn on all the lights in the home and brighten darker
rooms by placing spotlights behind the furniture.
Fall is a great time to sell your home because a
lot of prospective buyers are hoping to make a decision before the holidays.
Take advantage of the fall market by pricing your home correctly and working
with a licensed and experienced agent.
