Preparing Your Home for the Perfect Springtime Open House
I am personally thankful for so many things: my family, living in Bucks County, and assisting others each and every day with important real estate decisions are at the top of my list. However also at the top of that list – I am very thankful that the brutal winter is over, and we are having some beautiful spring weather!
Spring is a great time not only to attend an open house, but to also prepare your home for one. It is an incredible feeling to finally get outside, enjoy the breeze and work in gardens. On rainy or cooler days, there are many things you can work on inside your home as well – they goal is to have your home prepared for that perfect open house so it will sell quickly.
Now that the weather is nicer, I recommend the following tips to get your home ready for a quick sale:
- • Spruce up your flowerbeds by removing weeds, dead leaves and plants, and even branches that may have appeared in them throughout the winter. Apply new mulch and plant some new flowers to really brighten them up.
- • Rake up the yard and pick up any sticks or branches that have fallen.
- • Inside your home, this is a great time of the year to begin getting the clutter out of your closets. If you won’t be wearing your winter coat or heavy sweaters anymore this season – this is the perfect time to pack them away into boxes.
- • Spring is a great time for, you guessed it, spring cleaning! This is the perfect season to wash the windows, shampoo carpets, dust, wipe down the blinds, wash curtains, and really get your home clean from top to bottom.
