Attract Those Motivated Buyers Who Come Out in the Fall

Fall buyers have usually thought carefully about their future over the summer months, so they’re serious and focused but tend to be specific about their needs. The market usually witnesses a trend for faster deals at this time of year because buyers will often act quickly once they’ve found their desired purchase.

Smart sellers should seek advice and do some research to understand current market conditions which change quickly. Our team of experienced real estate agents can provide you with all the information you need to make the most of this season and help you avoid simple mistakes. They’ll look at how you can take advantage of the fall market, using subtle but effective strategies inside and outside the home.

Giving your property a seasonal vibe can also have a beneficial impact on potential buyers. If you plan on using any fall decor in your home while it’s on the market, please do so minimally. Too many decorations can detract from your home’s best features. You might consider staging your home with small, seasonal items such as a bowl of bright red apples on the kitchen counter, a modest centerpiece on the dining table, or a cozy throw on a sofa or bed.

Curbside appeal is always important. One frequently overlooked item that’s especially important in the fall is exterior lighting. With the evenings getting darker earlier, chances are good that buyers will be seeing your home after the sun sets. Make sure all exterior lights are working properly. Greater Cincinnati late summers and falls are usually very dry so be sure to keep landscaping well-watered. Remove fallen leaves on decks, patios, outdoor furniture, porches, and sidewalks. Keeping these areas free and clear sends the message that your home is well-maintained.

Making the most of natural light is essential. Consider rearranging furniture to ensure the light through the windows has the maximum impact. If your windows haven’t been cleaned for a while, get it done. You’ll be amazed at the extra light that will flood into your home when they’re spotless.

Testimonial to Exceptional Service: Holly Porter Little

“When we went forward with downsizing, we called four different agents who had listings we wanted information about. In five business days only Holly returned my call in less than 24 hours. She briefed us on her listing and sent the info to my office. Then Ms. Little then set up a system to deliver information on like/kind listings. Over six months time she maintained contact; by everyday email and a follow up phone call every three weeks. Best agent ever.”
