Today's blog goes out to all our potential listers out there! August is halfway over, and the kids are back in school. Due to the lower rain levels this summer we Southerners can already spot the leaves starting to change. Yellows, oranges and reds are slowly creeping into the landscape. So, what does that have to do with real estate and listing your home in particular? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: embracing the "ber" months when listing your home can do wonders for you!
The "ber" months, i.e. September, October, November and December, are traditionally the time of year many people actively embrace. These months herald in the arrival of all things holiday and mark a full blown season of warmth and festivities. How does this information translate into real estate? Ensuring your home is dressed to the hilt in all its "ber" glory can help potential buyers embrace its full potential.
One of the best things about transforming your home into holiday mode is the opportunity for some deep cleaning. Use this time while swapping out decor to get the nooks and crannies of your home dust free and sparkling. This goes for inside AND out. While you are sprucing up the inside don't neglect to clean out those gutters and make sure your outside area is warm and inviting as well!
Use this season to put your home into a festive and cozy feel. Kick off in September with full fall spirit, break out the leaves and pumpkins! If you're so inclined, you can transition to some Halloween decor in October and then move into Thanksgiving and Christmas decor for November and December.
Getting your home prepped for the "ber" months is a delightful way to embrace the holiday spirit and give your potential buyers a look at what "could be". Let their minds wander on where they'd put their own tree, what kind of pumpkins would they put on the front porch? By utilizing a few of these steps you can welcome the Ber Months so that you can fully enjoy your home while offering an array of possibilities to others. Start planning now and get ready to savor the magic of the upcoming months!
