Fresh Tips for the Spring Real Estate Market Seventy-five percent of Americans believe that now is a good time to buy a house, according to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors®. That’s great news for anyone hoping to sell their home this spring. “Seasonal patterns can differ somewhat depending on climate and where you are in the country, but generally speaking, we’re coming up on the busiest season for home buying and selling,” said Stephanie Summers, Realtor® and President of the Utah Central Association of Realtors®. “The weather is pleasant, days are longer and curb appeal is at its peak, making it an ideal home shopping season.” However, one disadvantage for sellers in some markets is housing inventory: it tends to skyrocket in the spring. So how can you make your home stand out amongst all the others? Here are some tips from the Utah Central Association of Realtors® (UCAR) to help you sell your home for the best price this season: Clean, clean and clean some more. It may be cliché, but make sure that your home is ‘spring clean’ throughout the entire selling process. “When potential home buyers walk inside, they should see a well-organized, sparklingly clean house,” said Summers. “If you can do nothing else, keep floors and windows scrubbed clean, take out trash and recycling frequently, and keep any clutter stored and out of the way.” Bring fresh flowers indoors. Springtime brings fresh flowers which, when brought inside, can be used as lowcost decor and fragrance. “Many people prefer natural to artificial scents, making this a perfect staging technique for open houses,” said Summers. “Just be aware that some buyers may have allergies, so avoid flowers
with high pollen counts like daisies, chrysanthemums or sunflowers.” Improve your curb appeal. How your home looks when buyers walk up to it can be just as important as how it looks when they walk into it. “It is important to make sure that your home’s exterior is kept clean and well maintained throughout the season,” said Summers. “At the very least, keep the grass trimmed by mowing regularly, make sure your shrubs and flower beds are well-tended and scrub or paint over any stains or chipped paint on your home’s exterior.” Let the light in. Take advantage of the longer, warmer days by opening up your windows and brightening up your home. “Keep your blinds open and your curtains pulled back to let in as much natural light as possible,” Summers said. “If a room doesn’t receive much sunlight, a well-placed mirror can help capture and reflect light from other rooms to brighten a space.” By following a few tips and making a couple of simple improvements, you can make your home more appealing to buyers and hopefully help sell it quickly this spring. If you are interested in selling or buying a home this spring, contact UCAR or visit www.UtahRealEstate.com to find a Realtor®. This article was provided by the Utah Central Association of Realtors®. UCAR serves as the local voice of real estate and is committed to protecting private property rights and promoting its motto, “Bringing people home.” For more information, contact the Utah Central Association of REALTORS® at (801) 226-3777 or visit them at www.ucaor.com.
