Spring Cleaning To Sell Your Home





Spring really says "Welcome to the New Year!" It's a time for change, and that best change is a new home. If you are serious about selling your home in Bryan College Station this year, now is the perfect time. Spring and summer are the best seasons to sell your home.

For one, the days are warmer. No one likes to tread through the cold to visit homes. Home buyers who are viewing prospective homes during the weekdays benefit from viewing homes in natural lighting, especially if they are an outdoor enthusiast.

If your home might appear to the family buying market, this is also a good time of year because they have been waiting for their children to get out of school. And one final honorable mention is spring is tax season. Buyers often use their refund checks to help with their down payment.
There's a reason you hear so much about  spring cleaning. It's not just because it's spring, but it's a perfect time to open curtains and windows to let the sunlight and fresh air in. This is the time to do light redecorating projects.

You've had your chore list all last year sitting to the side, and now is the time to take advantage. Homes sell best when they are light and airy. A cluttered home is not inviting. You don't need to spend a fortune to prepare your home for the spring market. Simple things you can do are:
·         Clean out closets
·         Put bulky and/or personal items away in storage. Help the buyer picture themselves in  their new home.
·         Change the linens, couch covers, kitchen, and bath towels to pastel colors or floral items for an inviting feel.
·         Take notice and fix any outdoor issues such as a clogged gutter or weeds.
·         Add flowers throughout the house and along the yard walking path.
By all means get quotes from professional home stagers if you feel your home needs more work than you can attend to. This is a perfect time to contact your local RE/MAX Realtor, Lisa Jones, to start planning the successful sale of your home.
