The spring and summer real estate market may be popular, but the Fall can be just as fruitful! With less homes on the market, your property will stand out and face less competition. Typically buyers looking for homes in the fall began their search earlier in the year, which will make them more eager to make a deal. Service providers like home inspectors, movers, and lawyers have more availability in the fall, so finalizing everything becomes easier to align with your schedule. Plus, Calgary truly is beautiful in the fall. There is no better time to show off your home!
If you're preparing to sell your home these fall, here are some tips to get started:
- Make sure you partner with Ken Richter! Contact us directly at Ken@KenRichter.com or 403-630-6363. Ken can help you get the ball rolling so that your property is ready to go on the market as soon as you are!
- Declutter while you have time. Fall tends to be a hectic season with back-to-school schedules, holidays, and less daylight. Start now by packing away seasonal items, organizing closets and storage spaces, and donating or selling bulky pieces you know you don't want to bring to your new home.
- Get all your remaining summer maintenance tasks completed. Cooler weather is coming, but you don’t want to be climbing ladders or painting decks in October. While it’s still comfortable outside, make sure to finish your summer property to-do list. This proactive work signals to buyers that the home has been well cared for.
- Stage for Autumn. When buyers tour your home in September or October, they’ll be imagining cozy evenings and holiday gatherings. You can help them picture it by subtly transitioning your décor to seasonal pieces, and adding a touch of cozy back to the home after an airy summer. Think “hints of fall,” not full-on pumpkin patch.
