Home-Selling Tips for the Fall

Home-Selling Tips for the Fall

Last weekend, we officially said “goodbye” to summer and “hello” to Fall. While late spring/early summer tends to bring out the most buyers in Southern California, that does not mean that you missed your chance to sell your home. Quite the contrary. Buyers look for homes pretty much all year round. Let me offer up a few home-selling tips to help you slap a “sold” sign in your front yard this Fall.

Home-Selling Tips for the Fall

Price It Right

First of all, setting the appropriate list price has no “season”. You always need to price your Southern California home appropriately for the current market. Otherwise, the number of buyers out there does not matter. They’ll pass your home by if you ask too much for it. Do not trust those online home value estimators either. Instead, ask your REALTOR® to help you determine the right list price for your home.

Spruce It Up

Next, staged homes sell quicker than unstaged ones. Fortunately, Autumn offers up some of the most gorgeous colors in nature that also look good in your home. Add in soft natural colors like pumpkin, plum, golden yellow, and maroon with throws, accent pillows, vases, and even wall art. One way to create wall art on the cheap is by recovering your books in these fall-centric colors. Wrapping paper, wallpaper samples, and even construction paper make this a quick, simple, and inexpensive way to color-coordinate your bookshelves. Put branches clipped from the outside of your home into clear glass bottles with pretty ribbons wrapped around the neck. Place these in various locations around your home for more fall-inspired decor.

Remember Your Curb Appeal

Finally, do not neglect the outside of your Southern California home. Mow your grass regularly. Trim bushes and trees. Keep trash bins on the side of the house (out of sight from the curb). Store bikes, tools, and other items nicely in the garage or shed. Then, contact me when you are ready to list.
