It may come as a surprise to some homeowners, but people often end up making a sell during the spring months over all other seasons. This is because the grass is greener and new life is changing the world. It is a season of possibilities. People who live up north retire to the south and many people who live in the south choose to go where they can see cooler summers. All this change makes it a great time to not only put your house on the market, but stage it for a quick sell, especially if you have a little fun with it and choose outdoor accessories for spring showings.
The Beauty of Spring
When we think of spring, we think of an awakening. Flowers and trees that have been sleeping during the cold winter months are coming back to life. Animals that have been hibernating are waking up. Birds that have gone away to escape the winter are now singing, building nests, and flying everywhere. People also start moving around more freely during the spring. They start venturing out to parks, planning their summer fun, planting gardens, and more. This is why spring is also the time for upgrading from your current home to a newer one. Luckily, there are also plenty of things you can do to your home to make it appeal to a potential buyer who is focused on the spring “awakening”.
Upgrading the Great Outdoors
Spring is new. It is a time when we imagine pastel colors and white. If you have a little extra cash to put into staging your home, you should play on this idea. If you have a white home, pressure wash it to ensure that it is beautifully white. If you do not have a fresh coat of paint, then before listing and trying to sell it you may want to consider applying fresh paint. It may cost you a little money, but the results will be worth it. Green grass from extra fertilizing, newly planted flowers in beds, and other things will make top off the instant curb appeal in the front of your home. The backyard can have a little less flowery stuff, but if you have a swimming pool you should make sure it is clean enough that a potential buyer can imagine the summer parties they will have there. You may also want to look into putting the best outdoor speakers with bass around your pool area since it will further encourage the “party” image of your back yard.
Listing Your Home
Before you list, you may also want to keep in mind the inside and make sure that it is “springy” as well. To do this, you will mostly want to clean your windows and ensure that your window dressings are also clean. You may want to install new blinds that are bright white because this will make the home feel brighter and allow in more natural light. Beyond that, always remember to keep your personal items to a minimum. You want the house to feel open, bright, and new for the potential buyers who will certainly come looking at it.
