Tips to Help You Sell Your Home Over the Summer Season

Selling your home in the summertime means that you have just a few months to list it and find the right buyer for your property. However, there are some recommendations you can and should take to prepare your home for this important process. Here are some ideas and recommendations to help you get the attention of the right buyer for your home this summer season.

Price Your Home Right

One of the best ways to bring buyers to look at your home is to price it right according to the current market conditions. And because most buyers on the hunt for a house will know what is a good deal and what is overpriced, they will recognize the value in your home immediately when it is priced accordingly. 

Work with your real estate agent to evaluate your home and its features and conditions to establish a price to list it at. Keep in mind that this price can be adjusted later on, but you want to price it perfectly at the onset of its listing so you get attention with it being a new listing and priced correctly. Your realtor will provide you with the assistance of compiling market data of homes that have recently sold and their sales price, but focusing on the homes that are similar to your home. The similarities should be in the age of the home, style, floor plan, size, condition, and location. You will find that your agent will be able to pull up a list of similar homes that have sold recently, which you can use their sales prices in establishing an accurate value for your home.

Showcase the Outdoor Areas

After you have priced your home at the right listing price, you will also want to make your home attractive to buyers in consideration of the season. When you advertise your home as a nice home with the benefit of great outdoor areas, it will grab the attention of buyers. As a buyer walks through your home, then goes outside onto your backyard deck, for example, with beautiful outdoor seating, a backyard grill, a play area for children, or a covered patio space, it showcases this space and provides extra value in a buyer's eyes. 

Be sure you clean up your outdoor space, spruce up the landscaping, remove weeds, mow the lawn, and add in mulch to cover the areas of soil in your bedding and garden spot. Then, add in outdoor lighting, which you can do inexpensively with solar lights, and it will illuminate the outdoor areas if a buyer views it at twilight or at night. Add colorful cushions to the space, a table covered with an outdoor umbrella, and set up a string of outdoor lights to make the space look fabulous.
