Selling your Home in the Summer

The summer months are here, and if you are looking to sell your home, this is a great time to do it. Homes look brighter in the summer months. The longer days leave more time for house viewings in daylight too. Gardens look more welcoming and in general, everyone is in a better mood in summer.

In this blog post we show you how to make the most of this when looking to sell your home in summer.

Kerb Appeal

Think kerb appeal. If possible. Have some overflowing hanging baskets of beautiful colours. Clean the front door so it shines in the sun. Weed your front garden or driveway. All of these things will help to add to the summer feel of your home and promote your home in the best possible way. Remember – first impressions count.

Brighten the Inside

Keep the brightness of outside inside too. Large mirrors can help make smaller rooms or corridors look brighter and more spacious. Open the curtains to let the natural light in. Crack open a window so there is a light breeze through your home too. Book a visit from the window cleaner too as this will brighten your home too.

Utilize the Outdoor Space

Think about what the buyers want from your home. For example, if you have a family home, make the outdoor area look like a family garden. This could be the table set in the garden, a swing in the corner or similar. The people viewing your home will want to envision themselves living in your home. Set out the garden in the best possible way to suit their desires of their next home.

Bring Some Sunshine In

Think about all those summery colours and how you can bring them into your home. Maybe a brightly coloured throw on the bed, or multi-coloured cushions on the sofa. A vase of colourful flowers will help create a summery feel too. A bowl of brightly coloured fresh oranges, limes and lemons on the counter in the kitchen will add some sunshine into your home as well.
