If you’re ready to sell your home this summer we’ve got some tips and considerations for you to think about to make smarter selling choices. Whether it’s being strategic about your open times or simply making your home a comfortable escape from the heat for potential buyers, there are a few things that you should be paying particular attention to.
Outdoor Areas Make An Impact
When preparing for your open homes, be sure to pay specific attention to your outdoor areas, especially if they are a great selling point for your home. Making sure your grass is green, your garden is lush and your pool (if you have one) is clean, this will help to make a great first impression.
Keep It Light And Cool
A key benefit of selling in summer is the abundance of natural light. Capitalise on this time of year by ensuring you leave curtains and blinds open to bathe your home in natural light which is a common sought-after feature for property hunters.
Another hot tip, keep it cool! If your home has air-conditioning make sure you put it on before your open inspections are scheduled to ensure your home feels refreshing to walk into. A hot home will leave potential buyers feeling flustered and more likely wanting to get the experience over with quickly so they can retreat to their air-conditioned car – a less than memorable first impression.
Talk To Your Sales Agent
The best person to turn to for any tips or advice is your sales agent. They will be armed with experience selling homes no matter the season! With access to knowledge and transaction histories, they can help you determine which weekend may be the best for your property to go to auction and what features of your home to emphasise to impress buyers.
