Get Your Home Ready for a Spring Listing Now

               According to a recent report, the number one market for home searches in the month of March is the South Atlantic, specifically: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia & Georgia - our very own Peach State. That means it’s important for sellers to be ready to list today to take full advantage of this peak season.  Just like retail stores and current fashion magazines are promoting their spring attire, you too should promote your home for the warmer season.

           

    Spring Clean-up: the first thought associated with the spring season is Spring Cleaning. Therefore, it’s important to present your home as fresh and clean as possible. Start your spring cleaning early and apply a new coat of paint. This will instantly freshen up your home & improve those crucial first impressions.

Next, replace signs of winter! Even if the temperatures have not yet risen, this is the time that people are experiencing extreme Spring Fever. Prepping your landscape for spring by applying new mulch in plant beds, ridding gutters of leaves and sidewalks of weeds, and even placing a decorative floral wreath on your front door will help buyers picture spending the approaching months in your house.

Don’t forget your interior! Be sure to display pictures of your family on summer vacations, open windows & blinds to let in natural light, and use plug-ins that have floral, fruity, or fresh linen scents to add to the spring appeal. Outside, prep your deck or patio by putting umbrellas, cushions, and a spring place-setting on display.

Most importantly, remember to look at your home objectively; by following these simple tips and getting your home ready for a spring listing now, you could be the one house a potential buyer sees that stands out among the rest.
