Fall is right around the corner and is the second best time of the year to sell a home. While springtime may be the most popular season to put a house up on the market, still for many people, the fall season is also a favorite time of the year, enjoying the crisp air and the colorful changes of the leaves on the trees. There will likely be fewer homes on the market during this time of year, but there is no reason to wait if you want to sell. People are ready to buy homes any time of the year, and a well-positioned home can sell fast if you draw in the right buyer and these tips should not be disregarded when deciding to sell this fall:

 

  • Keep the Exterior Clean – No matter what season you are selling a home, curb appeal is very important. The exterior is the first thing people see when coming to look at a property. If your home’s curb appeal makes a great first impression, everyone, including potential homebuyers, will want to see of what’s inside.
  •  Price Accordingly – One of the most important tips to sell your home in the fall is to price it properly. A home needs to be priced to compete in the current market. When you are not in the top selling season and will be heading into an even slower -winter season, it really makes sense to be smart about the right asking price for your home. Work with your real estate agent to set the right price for your home.
  • Make Sure the House is Ready – Your realtor will look over the house and give you a list of options for repairs or improvements that you can make. Buyers will appreciate things like energy efficiency, good insulation, well checked HVAC System and fireplace, especially when the weather is cooler.

 

Preparing your home for the fall can sometimes be a tedious job, but you’re all set once the winter weather arrives. Stay one step ahead by preventing minor problems and following these suggestions to get your property under contract before the winter selling season arrives.

These are excellent tips. Fall may be a little messier with the leaves and what not so it's important to stay on top of the appearance of your exterior.
