Think Spring (Market)

Now is a great time to make some quick and easy improvements to your home if you are going to be listing in the spring market.

Buyers want to be able to imagine themselves living and creating a life in the space. Clearing clutter, putting away personal things and packing up unused items goes a long way in helping create the blank slate some buyers need. One weekend of cleaning out will not only help when you list your house for sale but it saves you time when you are packing!

Take a good look at your kitchens and bathrooms. Simply updating a light fixture, repairing caulk and cleaning out your cabinets will make these rooms feel fresh. Organizing your pantry and giving your refrigerator a good clean out will also impress a finicky buyer.

If you are looking to really refresh your space, a fresh coat of paint in a modern neutral color will create a cohesive look. Dusting baseboards and spot cleaning walls are a great way to make a room more appealing.

Don’t forget the front yard! Curb appeal is everything. After a long winter and recent snow, your yard could look dirty and unkempt. Take an afternoon to do some clean up and as the weather warms, consider adding some new plants. The mailbox could use some clean up this time of year as well.

Listing your home is a big decision and the agents at HBC are here to help you every step of the way.
