There are great potentials of selling your home during the autumn season. For starters, the real estate competition is not as high in this time of the year. Secondly, you can focus on one goal when staging your home: stage it as a perfect spot to relax and stay warm as the outdoors begin to get cold.
With the right staging tips, you might close a deal and sell your home before winter rolls around. Here are tips to attract home buyers this autumn season according to About Home:
Liven up your interiors with better lighting
The shorter days during autumn and spring can take their toll on buyers coming to see your home. So make sure to keep your home well lit at all times and make a potential homebuyers' day. Install warm light bulbs and switch them on when the sun sets and keep window treatments open to let as much light in during the day. You will benefit from making your space feel bright and airy plus a good lighting could highlight your home's best features.
Highlight entertaining areas around the fireplace
When potential homebuyers do their home viewing, they try to imagine themselves actually living in your staged home. During the autumn season when it's cold outside, light a fire in your fireplace to warm the space so potential homebuyers feel homey. Also stage your furniture facing the fireplace to showcase it as a cozy spot to relax; up the ambiance by adorning the mantel with art or accessories.
Concentrate on comfort
Chilly months are for keeping warm and staying in. By creating a cozy atmosphere, you will lure potential buyers to linger in your home and admire it all the more. People love curling up around the fireplace so throw in pillows and throws to your sofa and chair to make them even more comfortable. Add relaxing elements like decorative candles and pile firewood near the fireplace.
Bring the aroma of fall into your home
Create a warm welcoming ambiance and give your home a fresh feeling by incorporating scents that are associated to the fall season such as cinnamon and apples. You can burn a cinnamon-scented candle during the home showing to build that cozy atmosphere. Serve glasses of apple cider with cinnamon sticks for the potential homebuyers to enjoy as they appreciate your space. Remember that scents are connected to emotions and by infusing such aromas will give them that sense of treasured memories that will hopefully put them to a good a mood to buy a house.
