Tips for Selling Your Home in the Fall!

Tips for Selling Your Home in the Fall!

Many people think fall is a hard time to sell a home. In our Northern Virginia area, fall is actually a great time to sell! Here are some tips to get your home ready for the fall market:

 

  1. 1. De-Leaf!
  2. Make sure you rake, remove leaves from the gutters, cut the grass, and trim the bushes! Curb appeal makes such a difference when selling your home. By keeping the leaves off and the yard and roof, your home will automatically stand out among others in your neighborhood just by looking leaf free!

Warm your entrance up with some mums and pumpkins. Put a leafy wreath on your door! Put some red and orange candles or throw pillows around! Adding fall decor can make a house feel homey and welcoming.

 

3. Warm up!

Make sure the inside of your home is warm and comfortable. Nothing like making a buyer cold to speed up their walk through your home.

Open up the blinds, turn on all the lights to help a home feel more open, spacious and warm. Dark spaces turn away buyers. So with days getting shorter in the fall, make sure you are bringing in as much light as you can!

 

5. Scents of Fall!

Your sense of smell is linked to your emotions! The smell of cinnamon or apple pie wafting through your home can help a buyer feel cozy and be able to emotionally picture themselves living there.

Why You Should List Your Home for Sale this Fall!

Why You Should List Your Home for Sale this Fall!

 

Jennifer Young with Keller Williams Realty and I want it and talk about the
fall market. I’m asked by a lot of sellers if it’s a good time to list their home because most sellers think they should wait and not list their home now and wait until the spring.
We are telling all of our sellers, “List Now!”. And the reason is, every other seller is taking their home off the market. Buyers are out now because interest rates are low and they want to capture the low interest rates before they go up higher.
Buyers are out, all the sellers are taking their homes off the market if they didn’t sell, anticipating it being a slow fall and winter market. But we’re busy, and we are selling homes!  We have lower inventory because others have taken their homes off the market and buyers want to capture low interest rates.
It is a great time to sell! If you are a buyer, it’s a great time to buy to capture these low thirty-year fixed interest rates before they go up again in 2016!
Call us today and 703-400-6757 if you would like to talk more about the fall and winter market!
