Selling your Basking Ridge home in the summertime

When selling a home, it helps to make the property as appealing as possible given the current season.  The summer is no exception.  Spending a little extra time and effort to create a summer-friendly atmosphere might be just what is needed to help potential buyers envision living in the home and ultimately make an offer.

Here are some tips to help your home shine during the summer:

• Go Green.  There is no escaping the fact that your yard will always make the first impression. To start off right with potential buyers, keep your lawn well maintained. Make sure shrub beds are free of weeds and full of mulch.
• Let the sun shine.  While keeping window coverings closed might keep energy costs down, it also creates a more depressing atmosphere. Sunlight makes a home feel bright and makes people feel happy. Open the window coverings for any window that doesn’t have a bad view.
• Set the scene.  Stage your yard in a way that buyers can see the potential it has as an outdoor living space. Put out a few lounge chairs. Rearrange the patio furniture. Add some potted plants. Clean up any clutter.  Make your yard a place buyers want to spend time in.
