You may have noticed the temperature steadily beginning to drop, and the leaves beginning to turn brown – this means autumn is here! And if you’re planning on selling real estate in Wollongong this autumn, then here are some tips to help you on your way.
Outdoor areas
With autumn comes falling leaves, which means extra work when tidying up the yard. Listing your house for sale also means that you’re going to have people coming by to inspect the house, so make sure it’s looking its best.
If you have trees in the garden, or out front of your house then make sure you regularly keep the driveway and grassed areas neat and tidy.
Dead leaves can easily pile up and begin to rot, and it can make properties look messy. Invest in a rake or leaf blower, and make a point to tidy up the yard once or twice a week.
Make it cosy
Use the colder weather to your advantage by making your house cosy and comfortable during open homes. Decorate lounges and bedrooms with warm, fuzzy winter rugs, and if your property has a fireplace then turn it on. There’s nothing more inviting than stepping into a house with a warm fireplace on a cold, windy day.
You may also wish to turn on heaters or heat pumps to demonstrate how well your home can hold in warmth during the colder seasons.
Use light
Autumn means longer nights and fewer hours of daylight, so it’s important to utilise what you have! Try to conduct open homes in the morning or middle of the day when the sun is still shining bright. Open all curtains and blinds in the house to bring in the natural rays of the sun – this will also help to bring warmth into the home too.
