Prepare your home for sale this fall

Well the fall season is now upon us in Edmonton, and this is the perfect time to get your home ready for Sherwood Park real estate.

Fall in Sherwood Park generally starts in September and stays around until about late October. The temperature is going to drop and people are going to start changing shorts and sandals, to jeans and shoes. People may be starting to focus on Sherwood Park real estate now that the summer is over. Here are some tips on what you can do to prepare your home for sale this fall.

Yard Work
You’ll want to make sure there are no leaves or debris in your yard, especially when those leaves start falling. Make sure that any plants or trees near the house are trimmed down, so that they are not blocking any window views and let the sun shine in.

Window Cleaning
Most people don’t realize that the summer can wreak havoc on your windows. As there isn’t much rain happening in the summer, people don’t think your windows can get that dirty, but don’t forget about the dry dust and dirt being blown around in the wind. When preparing your home for sale you’ll want to make sure your windows sparkle. Potential buyers will definitely notice smudgy windows. You will want to wash the windows inside and out.

Sweep that Chimney
As the temperature falls you may want to start using that fireplace to keep warm and get that nice wood-burning smell in your home. But before you do this, you’ll want to make sure you clean that chimney. You can sweep it yourself to get those cob webs and dust out, but hiring a professional would be the best bet, as you’ll want that chimney to be perfect.

These are just a few tips to prepare your home for sale this fall for Windermere real estate. For more information contact your local Sherwood Park real estate agents, RE/MAX Elite, today!
