Spring is near, and it’s a great time to sell your home. Not only can we expect a bump in sales as those wanting to move delayed their decision because of COVID-19, but Spring has always been the most active home selling season across the U.S. and in the Minneapolis area. As we look forward to winter warming into a beautiful and active selling season, you can begin preparing your home for sale. What tasks are worth your time?
It may seem silly, but ‘erasing’ signs of wear and tear can create a positive ambiance for buyers. While many won’t stop and examine your outlets or baseboards, having these items clean will give your home an overall fresher, better maintained, and more welcoming feeling.
So, dust your fan blades, wipe off outlet covers and light switches, dust the baseboards, and use a cleaning eraser to remove scuffs from your walls.
No buyer wants to purchase a home that lacks light. This means washing the windows both inside and out is a must. Yes, you can wait until it’s a little warmer, but do not skip this task.
For those dings and marks that cannot be wiped away, take out the paintbrush and get painting. Not only does the fresh smell of paint give your home an inviting scent, clean walls give potential buyers a blank canvas where they can make your home their own.
Curb appeal matters to buyers. So does being able to picture using your outdoor space to its fullest. On a warm day, survey your front yard and backyard for unsightly debris, and shrubs that need to be pruned. You may even want to add some annuals for a bit more color and warmth to your garden beds, or potted plants near your front door. And don’t forget to wipe down your outdoor furniture.
Paring back on your belongings lets your home shine its brightest come spring. So have a plan for the kids’ toys and other items that distract buyers. You can rent a temporary storage unit or invest in a few more decorative storage bins.
