The Milwaukee Brewer’s home opener is today. It is an annual reminder that spring is upon us. As the weather gets warmer it is also a time when lots of people consider buying a home. If you are in the market to sell your home Harris Realty Group has some tips designed to help you prepare your home for a spring listing.
1. Spring Cleaning
If you haven’t started already, it is that time of the year for spring cleaning. While it can be a headache to do spring cleaning, if you intend to list your home this spring a clean house is a necessity. Winter clothes, shoes, and decorations take up lots of space, so de-clutter your entire home for maximum space. A clean home will impress buyers and make your home seem even more appealing.
2. Curb Appeal
Spring cleaning does not stop once you are finished cleaning inside your home. When you’re selling your home in the spring, you need to get your yard ready as quickly as possible. Clear away dead leaves, clean out all the gutters, trim the shrubs and branches, pressure-wash the exterior of your home and driveway, do an inspection of the exterior of your home, and get your spring flowers ready for a colorful look for buyers. Many buyers will look at pictures of your home online or drive by the property. Since the exterior of your home and yard are available for all to see, yard cleanup is a must.
3. Price it Right
Even though prices are rising in some areas, sellers need to be reasonable and compare their homes to similar properties that are currently on the market or that have recently sold. As other homeowners will be listing their homes in the spring as well, having your home priced right is important to the success of selling your home.

4. Colors Matter
Add spring flowers to your yard for a colorful look that will attract buyers. Be conscious of the pattern of colors you choose so that the flowers complement the exterior of your home. Inside your home, add bright solid spring colors throughout your home.
These are just a few of many tips designed to help you prepare your home for a spring listing. Are you interested in listing your home this spring? Contact Harris Realty Group today!
