In our last blog, we talked about the growing popularity of Cottonwood Canyon and its ideal location in Lenexa Kansas. Our beautiful golf course community has received local recognition and new builds are proof that Cottonwood Canyon is inspiring many to build their custom dream home on its serene acreage.
Yet, for many who are considering building a custom home on Cottonwood Canyon; there’s oftentimes another important aspect to consider: selling a home. The process of selling your home can seem like a daunting task with the variety of aspects that go into getting your home sold. But, did you know that the fall season can be one of the best times to sell?
Buyers begin looking for a home in early fall as the weather starts to cool and they get into the seasons routine. Their hopes of getting settled into their new home before the holiday season provides them with just the incentive needed to get through the home buying process as quickly as possible.
So, if you’re considering selling your home this fall, how can you play up the season in order to capture buyers’ attention? Here are five simple ways!
1. Update listing photos- If you had your home on the market this past winter or spring; it’s time to update your listing photos! Your Lenexa Real Estate agent can take care of getting photos of your home in the current season. Pictures from the previous season make your listing seem dated.
2. Focus on curb appeal- The fall is a great opportunity to play off the beauty of the season. The changing leaves and cooler weather can allow you to enhance the look and feel of your walkway and front porch area. Add red and orange mums to your porch to highlight your front door, or a bench with a cozy throw to give the feeling of warmth from the moment buyers see your home. You’ll also want to be sure to keep your yard well maintained and leaves at bay.
3. Create a Sensory Experience- Whether you light fall scented candles or have freshly baked cookies on the counter, appealing to the senses of taste and smell can immediately make buyers relax and feel comfortable in your home.
4. Give Warmth- If you have a fireplace, this is one of the things you’ll want to be sure to draw attention to in your home. If it’s a cooler fall day, have the fireplace lit when buyers walk in so they get a sense of how cozy your home can be for the cooler months ahead.
5. Set the Table- Staging your dining room with beautiful place settings and fall decor can help buyers envision hosting holiday dinners in your home. It also appeals to the heart as you’re creating thoughts of friends and family around the table.
We hope that these tips are helpful as you begin the process of getting your home ready to sell!
