Selling your Boston Home in the Fall

Many feel spring is the busiest time of year for home sales but fall is right behind at a close second. Fall is the perfect time to put your property on the market. Inventory is low, so your competition is less, if you price your Boston Home well it will sell! Here are some tips to have your home looking great this fall selling season.

Don't forget about the lawn
Keep your property well-maintained, even in the fall. Continue to mow the lawn as needed and rake up the excess leaves. Make sure the walkways are clear of any leaves as well. Don't worry about needing to rake daily, colorful leaves look beautiful in the fall, even on your lawn. Just make sure it's not overdone or cluttering your walkways.

Get seasonal
Add some fall-themed decorations and plants. Since not much is blooming in fall make sure to add some color in the way of seasonal decor and plants. A nice harvest wreath or some pumpkins and mums can go a long way for curb appeal.

Maximize light
Open all blinds and turn on all lights for every showing. You want each room to be as bright and sunny as possible. The less-intense sunlight of fall may make it necessary to upgrade your interior lights. Even a lamp here and there can help brighten up a room. To maximize the sunlight make sure your windows are sparkling clean.

Give your home a cozy smell
For many, fall conjures up memories of hayrides and Thanksgiving dinners. Make your house more “homey” with some yummy smells. Some recommend simmering some spiced cider on the stove-top or baking some fresh cookies. The folks at Yahoo have some simmer pot recipes that are easy to pull together, you likely have most of these ingredients in your home.

When you are ready to sell your Boston home, look for a professional, someone well-versed in all aspects of the sale process. From small tips like the above to strategic marketing, and negotiation, a qualified professional is a home seller's best asset. Your satisfaction is the key to my success. Don't sell your home without the help of an experienced agent. Contact me when you are ready. I look forward to hearing from you!
