Selling in Summer

Summer has traditionally been the best time to sell a home. Not only do many families take

advantage of moving when the kids are out of school, but in climates where winter weather is

unpredictable or severe, the warmer months make it easier to be away for showings. With

more homes on the market, how can you maximize your potential for a great offer among the

options? Fortunately, you can take a few steps to ensure your home stands out from the

crowd.

Tips for Selling in Summer

Control the Climate – The first thing a buyer will notice when they walk into a home is

the temperature. If the weather is warm and humid, it’s critical you keep the home cool.

                A larger air conditioning bill is a small price to pay for a top dollar offer.

 Let in the Sun – It might be tempting to close the blinds to save money on air

conditioning, but bright, sunny rooms are always more appealing; leave enough open to

showcase natural light.

Extend Outdoors – Today’s lifestyle includes the outdoor areas and more and more

homes feature outdoor living and dining areas. Regardless of your home’s features,

maximize the impact of your yard with furniture, BBQs and manicured landscaping.

Spring Clean – A fresh, decluttered home with a lighter, seasonal color scheme will be

visually appealing to your buyers. Replace dark pillows, linen and accents with softer

colors which make the rooms seem larger.

The summer selling season is here. Make sure your home is dressed for success. Welcoming

outdoor spaces and bright sunny rooms combined with inviting an air conditioned rooms will

ensure you get the best possible offer.
