As the fall season approaches, days are getting shorter and nights longer. This makes the cooler temperatures creep in. So before selling your home, let us look at the ways you can make your home winter-friendly and get you maximum returns on your investment.

Below mentioned are home staging tips for 2020:

  • Listing Photo

If you have posted an ad for your house before fall, it is time to update the photos after you are done with your home staging. Do not forget, buyers will get attracted to your property by looking at pictures online. So do not forget to update your fall home pictures.

  • Curb Appeal- 

No matter how beautiful your home is from inside, the home exterior is the first thing buyer sees when they physically visit your property. Because it is the fall season, there will be leaves fallen around your yard. Use a leaf blower and clean out your yard. You can spruce up your yard by adding a layer of mulch, prune trees and shrubs to protect the plants from winter. You can also plant seasonal flowers to add a pop of color.

  • Make your Living Room cozy-

Paint your walls with light and neutral tones like white, off white beige or light grey color. Color coordination is the key to decorate your living room. If you have painted your living room with white or beige shades, add light grey sofa and decorate it with colorful cushions to add that extra tinge. You can also add fake plants or even a real one in the corner. Add snugly throw blankets on the sides to give that warm and comfy feel. For a more minimalist look, add artsy painting on the wall that will make a statement. Make your living room warm and comfy and attract the home buyer to your property.

  • Make it bright-

As the days are shorter, evenings will be darker. Decorate your front yard with lights and also add fairy lights on the plants near your door (if you have any). This will make the curb of the house very warm and welcoming. Indoors, it is advised to keep the lightings warm. Add lamps in your living room and also light up the candles. This will make your living room look larger and give that cozy ambience.

  • Flaunt your fireplace-

It will be very cold outside and your home buyer will especially focus on the fireplace in the living room. Add a vintage looking mirror on top to add a pop! Place a comfortable arm chair or a sofa near the fire place and do not forget to put a throw blanket. This will give the fire place corner a very cozy vibe. It also will be a nice idea to call a skilled chimney sweeper to clean your fireplace and chimney. A warm fire flame will be welcoming while a smoke from a clogged chimney isn’t. So before listing your house, get your fireplace and chimney cleaned. 

  • Get your HVAC System checked-

One of the important components of the home is the HVAC system. While you do have a fireplace in your living room to give you that warmth and coziness during winters, the HVAC system is equally important as it will keep your entire house warm. It can also be adjusted to the temperature that you want it to be. Heating and cooling professionals recommend that we get our HVAC system inspected and cleaned yearly. During the summer months, we do not use the furnace very often. Its maximum usage is during the winter months and so, the fall season is the best time to get your HVAC System checked and cleaned.

It is very common for the buyer to ask the seller about the furnace and its prior cleaning. So, getting your furnace inspected and cleaned by a specialist prior home selling will be beneficial as you can provide them with a receipt to show that it has been completed.
