Play Up the Season's Perks When Selling Your Home

Back

Selling your home during the Winter months is very different than selling your home during the Summer months. Each of the four seasons will have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Are you selling your home this Summer? Play up the season's selling your home in the summer perks! FrontDoor.com has some great staging tips for selling during the Summer:

1. Highlight your outdoor areas.
This is your outdoor space's chance to shine. Clean your deck, porch, patio or outdoor kitchen, and repaint or make repairs if necessary. No deck? Arrange chairs or outdoor furniture in your yard to create the illusion of an outdoor room. Make necessary repairs to your home's exterior, including your siding and windows.

2. Play up the pool.
A pool is a huge selling point during the sweltering days of summer. Keep yours clean and debris-free, and create a seating area near the pool where buyers can imagine themselves floating through the cool water.

3. Spruce up your landscaping.
Make sure your lawn and flower beds aren't languishing in the summer heat. Add pops of color to your entryway with potted plants.

4. Don't skimp on the air conditioning.
House hunters will want to escape the heat so make sure your home is nice and cool.

5. Provide refreshments.
During the dog days of summer, set out a cool pitcher of lemonade for buyers. Anything you can do to make them linger a little longer can only help you sell.
