7 Reasons to Buy a New England Home in the Fall

7 Reasons to Buy a New England Home in the Fall

7 Reasons to Buy a New England Home in the Fall

  1. There is less competition in the fall.
  2. Sellers are worn out if their homes have been sitting since the late Spring & Summer months.
  3. Sellers are more serious in the colder months—there is a reason they are on the market now versus waiting for peak months.
  4. You can take advantage of some serious tax-breaks.
  5. You can take advantage of some end of year sales to help outfit your new digs
  6. Inventory may be slightly less but so is the competition.
  7. Better negotiation power.

Why Stage Your Home When Selling a House

top 5 reasons on how and why to stage your home

Professionally Staging Your Home for Selling

It's easy to overlook why staging is so important. For my #Top5Tuesday_MM, here are 5 reasons you don't want to mess this up:

  1. First impressions matter

    • You don’t get a second chance to make a great first impression and most of us size something up and decide if it's a thumbs up or a thumb's down pretty quick. The same theory applies to selling your home. For instance, a prospective buyer who finds themselves walking into a cluttered home will perceive it as lacking in storage and may not want to come back a second time, let alone seriously consider buying it. That’s why home staging, the method of styling a house to make it more appealing for potential buyers, is so important. It creates a good first impression that will leave your house on the top of your buyers’ wish lists.
