Now that the weather is warming up, it’s the perfect time to give your outdoors a little love. Whether you have a garden, courtyard, or balcony, a few simple projects can help you make the most of your space and get it ready for longer days, barbecue evenings, and relaxed weekends with family and friends.

Spring is traditionally the busiest time in real estate, with more homes hitting the market and more buyers actively looking to make a move. If you’re a homeowner thinking about upgrading, downsizing, or changing suburbs, one of the biggest questions you’ll face is:
Should I sell my current home before I buy my next one?

Spring is here, and with it comes the busiest season for property sales. Longer days, lush gardens, and sunnier weekends mean more buyers are actively searching for their next home. If you’re considering selling this season, presentation will play a significant role in how quickly (and successfully) your home captures attention.

With 2025 already halfway through, many first-time buyers and young professionals are still facing the same challenge: the suburb they want to live in isn’t necessarily the one they can afford to buy in.

Enter rentvesting – a strategy that lets you do both. You invest in a more affordable property (usually in a growth area) while renting in the location that suits your lifestyle.

As winter winds down, now is the perfect time to reset your home and make space for the season ahead. Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to feel more in control of your environment, a thoughtful winter declutter can help you create a calmer, more functional space – and even boost your home’s appeal.
