Fall Listings, Better Odds

If you think you have missed the time of year to list and sell your home…you may be wrong. Although the popular time to contemplate selling is spring and summer in most markets, it turns out fall is the second most productive time to list and sell a property.

Fall listing usually finds the inventory depleted, so the competition is restrained with a more muted selling climate and it allows buyers and sellers to get what they want without the pressure to make quick decisions as it may in the spring and summer.

For any time of year, preparing your property to be listed means preparing it to look its best.

Curb appeal is the new Web Appeal. Having an immediate presence on the internet is crucial. Photos are now creating the first impressions for interested buyers.

Closets should be half empty. That means working hard to declutter and either get rid of excess stuff, packing it away in the garage, or renting a storage unit while the property is actively on the market.

The first two weeks on the market are crucial. The listing price should be solid and supportable. It is no time to “test” the market or to think that a “reduced” sign will not be harmful to achieving full market price for your property.

Don’t wait for spring to list your property if you are ready now. There are advantages to listing any time of year and Lezamiz Real Estate Co. knows how to utilize all seasons for the best outcome and top dollar.

Fall Cleaning with a Pressure Washer

Fall cleaning can be a pleasent task. When the sun is out and the temperature is crips and cool, cleaning can be fun and easy using a pressure washer.

Regularly performing annual cleaning on your homes exterior, concrete or stone patio, wood decking and hard surface driveway not only enhances the look of your home, but reveals small maintenance issues that can be resolved before they become large issues. Using a pressure washer makes the task uncomplicated.

Always follow the instructions that come with the washer and test an area that is inconspicuous. Using a lower and wider spray and changing the intensity as you wash will guard against damage by using too much pressure.

Safety comes first. Use eye protection for not only the water spray, but flying debris that is being washed off the surfaces. Keep gas powered washers away from your work area to avoid fumes and wear ear protection as well. Electric washers should have the electrical connections or plug ins away from your work area and must stay dry.

Owning or renting a power washer will help with many of your fall cleaning tasks including:

  • Exterior siding and brick
  • Rain gutters
  • Patio and decking
  • Driveways
  • Patio furniture

If your idea of a pleasant fall afternoon is NOT using a pressure washer, look locally for a service that provides washing and caulking repairs. You’re more than welcome to give us a call at the office where we have a list of vendors that we use on our homes and properties.
