Tips to Selling Your Home During Autumn
By Steve Wickland on October 2nd, 2009It’s no secret that it’s a buyers market in Ann Arbor real estate, however if you are trying to sell your home this time of year there are several things you will want to remember to take care of. Here are a few quick tips in preparing your home for sale:
Falling Leaves and Falling Temperatures
Cold weather can wreak havoc on a household. Water can seep into unexpected places – the driveway, foundation, chimneys, walk-ways – and cause damage as it freezes. The fall season is a great time to build up defenses against freezing water in preparing your home for sale. Even in a buyers market, a well maintained home is a home buyers dream!
Lower Temperatures and Higher Bills
Check all doors and windows for leakage are a great way to ensure energy efficiency to fight the cold. A single tube of caulk goes a long way to making your home warm and inviting to perspective homeowners.
Curb Appeal Year Round
Even though your beautiful summer landscape is fading, think about the curb appeal to potential home buyers into the fall and winter months. Are the leaves and old foliage removed from the yard? Can you add fall color with seasonal plants and decorations? How can you keep the walkways clear for potential home buyers?
Let The Sun Shine
This is a quick tip for anyone looking to sell their home, make sure the glass in your windows and storm-doors is sparkling clean allowing the greatest amount of sunlight in! Nothing is more inviting to a perspective buyers than a bright, cheerful room. While you are at it make sure all blinds and curtains are clean and well maintained as well!
