Summer Home Staging Tips

Are you looking for ways to make your house more memorable for buyers this summer? Despite the summer heat and vacations, buyers are still looking for the right home. Here are some great ways to take advantage of your summer showings:

Summer Showing Tip - Keep Your A/C Cool

Keeping your A/C a little cooler can make a real impact on buyers as they enter the cool oasis from the summer heat. Interested buyers will not only appreciate the break from the summer sun, but will likely spend more time in your house to avoid having to go back outside. This provides more time for the buyer to observe the wonderful features of your house.

Another great reason to have your A/C running cool is to make sure buyers don't assume that your A/C is having issues keeping up with the outside temperatures. While many buyers will look over all the systems during their due diligence period, it's best to not give them any reasons to walk away from your house before they ever put in an offer!

Summer Showing Tip - Keep Your Curb Appeal Strong

Rain and summer sun is all that weeds need to flourish. Weeds can really get ahead and damage your home's curb appeal. With rain, grass can also grow like wild. Keeping up with your yard can set your house up with a great first impression!

Summer Showing Tip - Provide Cool Refreshments

Providing buyers with cool or lite refreshments can go a long way in helping your house stand out. Motivated buyers may spend hours looking at available houses in the area. The experience can be especially frazzling, dodging traffic to keep up with an agent, going in and out of houses, trying to remember all the details of each house and neighborhood. Having iced beverages like tea, bottled water, or lemonade can mark your house to stand out in the buyers memory.

Providing refreshments can also give the buyers a chance to reset and really take in your house so it isn't getting lost in the blur of showings. If you do provide lite refreshments, it may be a good idea to have pre-packaged items so everyone is protected from germs.

Summer Showing Tip - Keep Your Outdoor Living Spaces Staged

While it may be too hot at two o'clock in the afternoon to really sit down and enjoy your patio or deck, keeping it staged will remind buyers of the wonderful space it is most of the year. Even during the summer early or late showings might be able to appreciate your indoor/outdoor living spaces!
