Since school is out and
the days are longer, summertime is the perfect time to put your house on
the market. Take advantage of warmer weather to spruce up areas that
need it. Make sure that when prospective buyers come to look at your
home it gleams under the summer sun.
Freshen Up
It's
amazing what a big difference a bit of freshening up can make. Indoor
and outdoor spaces alike need to reflect the care you’ve given them.
It's a good idea to patch holes in drywall, clean carpet and make any
repairs that might be a safety concern. A fresh coat of paint can make a
dramatic difference. Repaint any rooms that could use some brightening.
You don't need to paint the exterior of your house to freshen it up.
Try pressure washing siding and decking so that everything looks
pristine.
Decorate More Generically
As
precious as your family photos are, they are not ideal for potential
homebuyers and can be distracting. Clear out any personal items in your
home like photos, collections and award certificates. This also includes
items that might be considered controversial, such as political flags
or morally questionable paraphernalia. It’s not always easy, but it will
help you sell more quickly in the long run.
Keep the Outdoors Great
Even
if the sun can turn your skin to bronze, you don’t want the same effect
on your lawn and garden. Water regularly to keep your grass lush and to
make wilted flowers stand up tall and proud once more. Also, don’t
underestimate the power of curb appeal; trimmed grass and hedges make a
bigger difference than you might think.
Stage the Home
Once
the house is clean and working like a well-oiled machine, make it even
more beautiful with staging. Professionally staging the home means that
furniture and decor are brought into the home by a decorator. This
process makes for a clean and cohesive look. Staging can make a huge
impact on people who are touring the house.
Use
the brightest season of the year to highlight your home’s beauty. You
already know it’s a gem, so show buyers why they should think so too!
