Did you know that the time of year you decide to list your home on the real estate market can impact your strategy for getting your home sold?
Today, I’m going to tell you about seven strategies that you can employ to get your home sold this autumn!
Canton Real Estate Sales Tips
As with any time of year, the goal of selling your home in the fall in Canton is to help the home buyer visualize living there while simultaneously highlighting your home’s assets and downplaying your home’s weaknesses.
But how exactly do you do that? Here’s how!
Tidy up your front lawn. During the fall, your exterior can quickly turn shabby because of the falling leaves. So remain vigilant about lawn care by raking regularly and snipping any dying perennials or annuals. Remember, your home’s curb appeal is the first impression a home buyer is going to have of your property.
Set out fall accents outside. This may mean setting out a pot of seasonal flowers, such as mums or marigolds. It may also entail selectively placing a couple of pumpkins for accent. This helps buyers visualize how they’re going to want to decorate their home for fall when they live there.
Make sure your windows are scrubbed down. It’s easy for windows to build up a lot of residue, especially during the rainy months of summer. But during the fall months, it’s especially important to keep your windows spotless to let in as much light as possible.
Clean your fireplace. You will want to do this for a couple of reasons. First, by doing so, you can then light a fire so that your home smells warm and inviting. But even if you never light a fire, it’s important to keep the fireplace clean in case home buyers inspect it. Any dirt may hint to buyers that you haven’t been properly upkeeping the rest of the house.
Appeal to the home buyer’s sense. This may include baking pumpkin bread to get buyers in the mood for the season or softly playing some seasonal music. By doing so, you’re helping the home buyer to feel more at home, which is exactly the mood you want them in if you want them to make a purchase offer.
Be inspired by autumn hues. Red, yellow, orange – fall is a brilliant and aesthetically-pleasing time of year that draws the awe and wonder of everyone! Why not use some of that magic inside your house by accenting rooms with splashes of orange and red. For instance, how about set out an orange throw blanket in the living room or add a yellow table cloth in the kitchen?
Add Light. Fall does not see as much sunlight as summer, especially given that the days are shorter. So compensate by opening all of the windows in your house and turning on all of the lights – including in the closets and bathrooms. This will make your home feel brighter, warmer and more inviting! That’s sure to woo any buyer!
