5 Tips for Selling Your Home This Fall


Thinking of putting your home on the market this fall? While autumn brings crisp air, colourful leaves, and cozy vibes, it also comes with its own set of challenges for home sellers. Here are 5 practical tips to get your home ready to sell this fall. 

Clean Up The Leaves

Fallen leaves are beautiful on trees, but once they hit the ground, they can quickly make your property look messy. Keep walkways, driveways, and lawns clear with a rake or leaf blower so buyers see your home and not yard work.  

Add Seasonal Flowers

Landscaping is one of the first things buyers notice. If summer flowers have wilted, replace or remove them. Even if you don’t have a garden, you can use large pots or urns near your front entrance for a welcoming touch. Fresh mulch also goes a long way in creating polished curb appeal. 

Refresh Your Front Door

A fresh coat of paint in a complementary colour can instantly update your home’s look. Fall is the perfect time to paint before cold, wet weather arrives. Consider updating door hardware too. New locks and handles in a modern finish make a subtle but noticeable difference. 

Brighten the Space

Autumn days can be darker, but your home doesn’t have to feel that way. Maximize light with these quick steps: 

·       Wash windows inside and out
·       Open blinds and curtains fully
·       Schedule showings earlier in the day if possible
·       Add outdoor or pathway lighting for extra curb appeal 

These small touches can make your home feel brighter, warmer, and more inviting. 

Create Cozy Fall Vibes

A simple wreath on the door, pumpkins by the entryway, or plaid blankets on the patio can make your home feel welcoming. Inside, highlight your fireplace if you have one, add a throw to the sofa, and keep clutter to a minimum. The goal is to help buyers picture themselves settling in for cozy evenings.
