Still Time to Sell Your Boston Home This Year

The fall real estate market in Boston is in full swing but that doesn’t mean you have missed the chance to sell your Boston home this year.  Many home sellers make the mistake of thinking the market becomes completely stagnant during the fall and especially during the holiday season. This is not completely true. In fact, some Boston home buyers are even more highly motivated during the holiday season than any other time of the year. The advantage of catering to these home buyers is that are usually not just lookers; they are serious buyers. In addition to the normal cleaning and decluttering of your home make sure to follow these seasonally-appropriate home selling rules. 

Don’t forget about the exterior. Keep your property well-maintained, even in the fall. Continue maintain the landscaping 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. Keep it to a minimum though, especially when it comes to holiday décor.

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.

Fall is the perfect time to put your property on the market and the crisp winter weather will be here before we know it. It may be November but there is still time to get your Boston home sold before the end of the year.

The most important step of selling this year – meet with a Boston real estate agent who can show you the supply conditions in your neighborhood and assist you in gaining access to the buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy now! Please contact a Boston real estate agent if you need any assistance!
