Now is the Best Time

If you are considering putting your home on the market, the opportune time is NOW. Spring is a fantastic time of new beginnings and people are starting to look for homes. They know summer vacation will be here soon and many families will relocate during that time.

Not only that, the beautiful green grass is starting to come in, the flowers are in bloom, its just a beautiful time of year to list your home.

 

People like to drive around and look at houses. Keep that in mind when you are maintaining your yard. Make sure the front yard and front of your house have “curb appeal” meaning that it looks attractive to people who are driving by.

Make sure that all of your light fixtures are working, closets organized (as people do open them) and freshen the place up by cleaning and refreshing paint if need be. Repainting is one of the least expensive ways to update a home that has an instant effect.

Keep the house smelling good. That doesn’t mean masking with heavy scented sprays. Try making a nice fragrant potpourri on the stove. Fill a kettle with water, add a few sticks of cinnamon, a few cloves, a slice or two of orange and let it simmer on the stove. The result is a refreshing cinnamon smell that will give the house a pleasant odor.

Keep the glass doors, mirrors, etc, nice and clean as well. Watch for leaving streaks behind on windows. All these touches will make your home look more attractive to potential buyers.
