Tips to Help Sell Your Home During Spring

With winter out of the way, it's time for buyers to start resuming their search for the perfect property. Your property! Be sure to show your home in the best light. Every owner wants to sell their home as quickly as possible, but with so much competition in the market, it isn't as easy as putting a simple 'For Sale' sign out the front of your home and watching buyers walk-up to and knock on your door.

Selling Your Home During Spring

To help you in this respect below is a great post from Patriot Title Agency with tips on staging your home in its best light during Spring.

Start with Your Yard

How your property looks from the street is one of the most important aspects of selling your home. It’s called ‘curb appeal’, and if your property doesn’t have it then it isn’t likely to sell. And when it comes to improving the appeal of a property, the first place to start is with the yard. Why? Because it’s the first aspect of your property which a buyer will see and can often be the decider if a buyer will arrange an inspection. With this in mind, it’s important that you clean up your yard each time that you are expecting buyers. Even if this means raking leaves from your yard twice a day until your property sells, the effort will be worth it. In addition, consider increasing your lawn mowing schedule so that your property looks clean and pristine for longer. If you notice that any of your yard areas is missing grass or isn’t looking so good, be sure to either replace the grass or disguise the area by planting flowers or a lawn ornament.

Did You Complete Your Spring Clean?

If you completed your spring clean and are incredibly proud of what you achieved then an open house is the best opportunity to show it off. Why? Because you can bet that all of the potential buyers who walk through your home will be thinking about all their own spring cleaning list and checking off their own items. For this reason, each time that you have an open house appointment planned, be sure to run over your spring cleaning list quickly and gives the areas a touch-up. The reason why this is so important is that buyers can often associate an unkempt house with one which doesn’t receive regular care and maintenance, leading to the thought that, if general cleaning and maintenance aren’t provided then how well was the property kept in its entirety? A question you don’t want buyers asking or using against you when it comes to offering a price. Smart buyers will want to protect their investment with title insurance, so help expedite the process by arranging a prior title search.

Windows and Doors

With winter over and spring coming out, there is more and more contaminants and grime floating through the spring air. Unfortunately, given that your windows and doors face nature, this groove often ends up around your door frames and window frames, leaving ugly marks and a general look and feel that your property isn’t clean. Remembering the point above about cleaning and perception, make sure these areas are clean and fresh. If this means sanding down peeling paint and recoating it, then do it. If this means replacing scratched or permanently damaged window panes, replace them. If this means replacing your door handle with a new one, replace it! All of these simple ideas can help to drastically improve the appearance and perception of your home.

Entertainment Potential

Last, but certainly not least, is a tip about entertaining. Now that winter is over and spring is well and truly here, more and more people are getting ready to shake off their hibernation and entertain! This makes for the perfect opportunity for you to show off your home’s entertainment potential to potential buyers. With this in mind, set up any entertaining spaces you have as if you were expecting company after the inspection. Something as simple as cheese plates and wine glasses with a few candles or dimmed lights in an outdoor entertaining area can help buyers to see the potential of your home and imagine hosting their own parties during springtime.
