4 EASY Tips on Selling Your Charlotte Home This Fall
If you haven’t noticed already, autumn is HERE and in full swing towards those cold winter months! Autumn is not only a great time to enjoy some cooler weather but, it is also a perfect time to sell a home. If you want to sell your house this autumn, these home staging tips will have buyers pounding down your door.
Lighting, Lighting, Lighting
The shorter days of autumn make lighting more of a challenge when selling your Charlotte home – especially on cold, rainy, already-dreary days. It is important to make sure your Charlotte home is bright because no one wants to walk into a dark home – it gives them a depressing sense and that’s certainly not what you want! The best way to brighten up any house is by opening the blinds and turning on every light.
While it may not be great for your electric bill, the extra lighting will help the home sell quicker. You can even place some spotlights on the floor behind furniture to brighten up the corners in your darkest rooms.
Your Curb Appeal Needs to WOW
Curb appeal is easily the most important factor when it comes to selling a home. Why? because it’s THE first impression. Maintaining great curb appeal can be difficult in autumn because of all the falling leaves.
Raking the leaves and be sure to plant some autumn flowers will make your Charlotte home inviting to buyers. This time of the year, the Pansy colors are beautiful and really make a home shine when potted in large pots by the front door, by the mailbox or in beds beside the sidewalk. If you live in an Uptown condo with a balcony, having nice pots filled with Pansies outside really makes your condo stand out too!
It’s All About Comfort
There is just something about the cooler weather of autumn that makes people want to stay inside and be cozy. Showing off how comfortable your home is will definitely pique buyers’ interest. Be sure to have the music playing and leave some fresh baked cookies out for the buyers – it adds a personal touch and a subtle sense of coziness. As well, accent throws on sofas and chairs by the fireplace tend to give a cozy feeling; make your buyers see themselves curling up in front of the fireplace to read a good book!
Autumn Color Accents
While you don’t really want to change the color scheme of your home just to fit the season, you can add some accent colors throughout the house. If you have a neutral colored couch, then you can easily throw some red or orange pillows on it to make it really stand out. Adding tasteful autumn decorations to the main rooms is also a great way to accent your home with autumn colors – just be sure not to overdo it!
Yes, fall is a great time sell your Charlotte home, and for good reason. Taking advantage of autumn’s vibrant colors when you stage your home will give your house an irresistible appeal.
