Spring is one of the most active seasons in real estate. Days are longer, gardens are greener, and buyers are out in force. If you are considering selling, the right preparation can make a real difference. At The Coast, we know how to help you present your home at its best, starting with a few simple but impactful steps.
Refresh Your Street Appeal
First impressions count. Many buyers decide how they feel about a property before they step inside. A freshly mown lawn, trimmed hedges, and seasonal flowers add a welcoming touch. Consider a fresh coat of paint on the front door or updated outdoor lighting. These small investments lift the whole feel of the home.
Declutter and Depersonalise
Spring is the perfect excuse for a clear out. Removing excess items creates a sense of space and helps buyers imagine themselves living in your home. Tidy cupboards and storage areas as well. Serious buyers often take a peek behind the doors.
Style for the Season
Light, fresh, and airy styling resonates in spring. Think crisp linens, neutral tones, and touches of greenery. Professional styling can elevate your home, but even simple changes like new cushions, fresh towels, or a vase of flowers can make a big impact.
Complete Minor Repairs
Loose handles, dripping taps, and scuffed paintwork may seem minor, but they signal how well the home has been maintained. Fixing them now ensures buyers focus on the positives, not the flaws.
Showcase Outdoor Living
With warmer weather, buyers look for homes that celebrate indoor to outdoor living. Set up your deck, courtyard, or garden to show its potential for entertaining. A neat barbecue area, outdoor setting, or cosy fire pit helps buyers picture the lifestyle.
Let in the Light
Open blinds, polish windows, and consider lighter curtains if rooms feel dark. Natural light is a top feature for buyers, and spring provides it in abundance. Make the most of it.
