Traditionally people like to wait until Spring to put their home on the market. If they have kids, they might be out of school in May so April is a good time to go to market. Right now there are so few homes available that it’s a really great time to sell because of low competition and still multiple offer battles.

To get ready to sell here are some tips:

Enhance curb appeal by freshening up landscaping, planting colorful flowers and even give the front door a new coat of paint. Replace or clean your mailbox if it’s by the door.

Embrace spring cleaning! Declutter, organize and pack. Depersonalize your interior spaces so buyers can picture themselves in your space.

Highlight outdoor spaces by staging your patio or deck with cozy furniture that invites outdoor entertaining in the summertime. Optimize natural light and clean windows. We always have your windows cleaned before listing at no charge-makes such a difference!

Buyers will have inspections, so you might want to get ahead of the game and get a radon test and sewer scope to ensure there are no issues that will bite you while you’re under contract. Even a home inspection can help deter problems. Call if you need referrals for inspectors!
