Fall is in the air! When it comes to selling your home, your home's curb appeal is crucial to selling it quickly and for top dollar. If your home doesn't look very pleasant on the outside, buyers won't bother scheduling a showing to see the inside.
First impressions matter, especially in real estate. So, let's dive into a few fall lawn care tips to improve your curb appeal and make sure your home is looking its best.
Clean Out Leaves
While the change in color of the trees can be beautiful and work in your favor, the leaves that fall to the ground and make a mess do not. Take time to clean out your gutters and clear them of any leaves or debris to avoid damage to your gutters and roof. In addition, removing the leaves from flower beds and mulch will allow your landscaping to shine without being overshadowed.
Add Fall Blooms
Speaking of landscaping, adding some vibrant fall blooms and fresh mulch will show you care about your home and how it looks. Think about adding flowers like mums, marigolds, or sunflowers to give your landscaping a fresh seasonal feel that sets the tone for the rest of your landscaping.
Mow The Grass
While this might seem like a no-brainer, it's an important tip that should be mentioned. Overgrown grass is a huge turn-off to buyers because it appears your home is not well-maintained. Make sure your grass is mowed regularly in preparation for photos and showings.
Accessorize With Fall Decor
Once all the cleaning is done, it's time to accessorize! While you don't want to overdo it and make things feel cluttered, it's nice to have some decor here and there to accentuate the best parts of your home. Adding seasonal pillows to your chairs on the front porch or some potted plants up the stairs of your porch will make it feel more inviting to buyers and make them want to see more.
With the trees changing colors and cooler temperatures, fall is the perfect season to sell your home. If you have any questions about improving your curb appeal this fall, reach out to me! I'm always happy to help.
