How to Sell Your Home This Fall.

Generally speaking, fall often signals a slowing down in the real estate business. While steady home sales are expected to continue through the year, there are some regions that will likely slowly shift from a sellers market to a moderate or buyers market. So if you’re selling, you’ll want to do everything you can to make you house look its best.

Keep the following fall tips in mind as you set out to put your home on the market and add your home sale to this year’s statistics:

Outside – Make sure your home has curb appeal, as you want to give the prospective buyer a great first impression.

• Clear all the leaves off your property.
• Cut your lawn, prune your shrubs and bushes.
• Trim the trees so branches don’t get knocked down by the wind and cause unwarranted damage.
• Ensure that your gutters have been cleaned and drain properly.
• Make sure you have a good doormat so visitors can wipe their feet properly at the door.

Inside – Keeping the inside of the house clean is just as important as the outside.

• Make sure your home feels warm and cozy – set the thermometer at a comfortable temperature.
• Clear your home from clutter and keep all the rooms clean and tidy.
• Place a nice fall centerpiece on your dining room table – decorate your home with festive fall embellishments.
• Keep your windows clean from dirt and grime.
• Let as much light in as possible. The extra light will help illuminate the houses’ interior.
