6 Ways to Prep Your Home to Sell this Spring

If you’re thinking of selling your home this spring, don’t wait to get it ready.

As we reported last week, inventory is low, driving up demand and setting the real estate market up for a very busy spring. Don’t be fooled into thinking the winter will last forever and buyers will never come out. The cold temps will go away and buyers are already chomping at the bit to get out and look at homes.

Here are 6 tips for getting your home ready for the late winter and early spring market in just 30 days:

1. Paint Rooms

This is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to spruce up the rooms in your home. Getting a fresh coat of paint on walls will instantly brighten them up and make the home look like new. Wake up drab rooms with a splash of color. Or use more neutral colors for a current, updated look. Painting rooms also helps maximize space and makes them appear larger. Painting has one of the biggest returns on your investment of any home improvement project, and can be done in a couple of weekends.

2. Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is as important as ever, even with the snow. While in the springtime, your home may feature freshly-trimmed bushes, clear walkways, fresh mulch, and well-kept lawns, at this time of year having a clean snow removal job can present a positive picture to a buyer as well. Get rid of dead leaves, branches, and weeds which may be showing through the snow, or on walkways you’ve cleared. When buyers pull up and see a well-kept yard, it means the home is well-kept on the inside as well.
