As the seasons shift and the air turns crisp, while the housing market isn’t as hot as the summer, Fall can be a great time to sell your home to those who are serious about buying.
If you’re considering selling in the fall, we want you to embrace this time of year to create a warm and cozy haven that welcomes comforting moments for the new buyer and their family.
Before we get into creating a seasonal experience, we don’t want you to forget these general tips for selling:
1. Inspect and Repair all major issues. Home buyers will notice more indoor and outdoor details such as HVAC Issues, Roof Repairs, Window and Door Insulation, and Removal of Cobwebs (yes, seasonal, but unwelcomed!)
2. Clean and Declutter. Clearing your home of clutter is always a good idea whether you’re selling or not.
3. Price your home to sell! The housing market typically see lower home inventory in the Fall. At The Gresham Group, our agents have keep in mind pricing strategies to make the season bountiful!
Get Cozy with Elements of the Fall Selling Season
Embrace Warm Colors
Fall is all about warm and earthy tones that mimic the colors of the changing leaves. Incorporate these hues throughout your home to create a cozy atmosphere. Introduce these warm tones in your decor through accent pillows, throws, and area rugs.
Cozy Textures
Fall is the perfect time to incorporate soft and cozy textures into your living spaces. Opt for plush blankets, knit throws, and velvety cushions in warm colors. Layer these textures to create depth and visual interest. Add a cozy area rug in the living room to keep your feet warm on cool autumn evenings.
Warm Lighting
Creating a cozy ambiance is not just about the colors and textures; lighting plays a crucial role as well. Swap out bright, cool-toned bulbs with warmer, softer lighting options. Consider using table lamps with warm-colored shades or string fairy lights across your living room or bedroom to create a warm and inviting glow.
Fall-inspired Scents
Scent can evoke powerful memories and emotions, so consider incorporating fall-inspired scents to enhance the cozy atmosphere in your home. Place scented candles in autumnal fragrances like cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or apple pie. You can also use essential oil diffusers with warm and comforting scents like vanilla, clove, or cedarwood.
Natural Elements
Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements into your fall decor. Display a bowl of pinecones, acorns, and dried leaves as a centerpiece on your dining table. Create a fall-inspired wreath using dried flowers, colorful foliage, and twigs. Add potted plants with autumnal blooms like chrysanthemums or sunflowers to infuse your home with nature’s beauty.
Seasonal Tablescapes
Set the stage for cozy fall gatherings by creating a seasonal tablescape. Use a table runner or tablecloth in warm autumnal tones. Incorporate natural elements like small pumpkins, gourds, or dried corn husks as centerpieces. Add rustic touches with wooden chargers, and complement the setting with warm-toned dinnerware and cloth napkins.
By embracing tradition and infusing your home with warm colors, cozy textures, and comforting scents of fall, you can create a welcoming haven for this selling season.
Let the changing leaves inspire your color palette, and bring the outdoors inside with natural elements. With these tips, you can transform your living spaces into a cozy retreat for the new buyers.
