5 MUST-READ TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME IN AUTUMN


Did you know that Autumn may be one of the best times to sell your home? While there are certainly many advantages to selling property in the warmer months, the market can become flooded with listings as vendors seek to take advantage of the good weather.

During Autumn there are generally fewer options on the market to compete against, which may make the selling process easier for vendors.

The other advantage to listing at this time is that there is less disruption from Christmas, school holidays and family trips, freeing up the time people have to look for properties.

Here are 5 simple yet effective tips for selling your home in Autumn:
  1.  Add a splash of colour throughout your home with soft furnishings
  2.  Plant flowers that bloom in Autumn (click here for a list)
  3.  Keep weeds under control – as soon as the first rains occur, weeds can take off 
  4. Since the evenings will be darker than other times of the years, ensure your property has bright lighting to create a nice and warm ambiance for buyers
  5. If it’s a cold day, take the chill out of rooms by heating up spaces before viewers arrive
