Now is the best time to get your Boston home in prime viewing condition if you wish to put it on the market this spring selling season. With buyers expecting more from sellers these days, it is important to market the best features of your Boston home. Here is a list of things that can help in preparing to sell your Boston home in spring.
Cleaning the yard
The first thing that potential buyers tend to notice is the front yard. If you are looking to make a good first impression, it is advisable to clear away leaves and trim the lawn. You could also consider replacing the mailbox and painting the front door. Potential buyers do not appreciate being welcomed by a bed of weeds and overgrown shrubs.
Deep cleaning the house
It is not uncommon for dust and dirt to accumulate in the house, regardless of how spick and span you try to keep it. Buyers tend to be curious when they visit your home, so it is important to thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. Clean the carpets, clear out the closets and wash the windows to make sure you have your bases covered.
Repaint with neutral colors
You may take a liking to bright colors, but it might scare off potential buyers. As a seller, you need to make sure you minimize the distraction caused by personal items or personal taste such as that in paint colors. You could appeal to a wider pool of audience by painting the interior of your Boston home with neutral colors such as light gray, mushroom and taupe.
Pay attention to flooring
You need to pay attention to the flooring of your Boston home as well. You must decide if the carpet needs replacement or professional cleaning depending on the condition of the flooring of the house. If you happen to have hardwood floors, you could consider hiring the services of a local company that can visit you and refinish the hardwood floors, giving them a new look once more.
