8 summer home selling tips

June 15, 2017

Ahhh, summer has arrived  – the time many Wisconsinites wait for all year long.  Many people spend as much time as possible outside now that it is warming up and value outdoor spaces more than ever.  If you are selling your home this summer, pay special attention to your yard, patio and deck.  Make it easy for buyers to imagine grilling with friends, eating dinner on the patio.  You’ve staged the inside of your home – do the outside, too.

Some tips for summer selling:

Keep the lawn mowed and trimmed – hire a service if you can’t keep up

Keep the patio or deck neat – put attractive patio furniture out

Put up the umbrella on the patio set

Powerwash decks, concrete patios, clean dusty and dirty chairs that have been stored all winter

Store hoses for tidiness

Place flowers around the front porch and patio/deck

If you have a pool, make sure it is clean and looks inviting

Firepits are popular – if you have one, set it up with a fire just waiting to be lit

 

And, inside…keep your home cool so it is refreshing the moment potential buyers walk in.  Summer is short in Wisconsin and right now you have an opportunity to showcase your outdoor space better than ever.
