How to sell your home in spring

By Shaun Adams Subscribe to newsletter

Spring is the time when the world seems to be waking up again after winter's hibernation. This is, in a way, true for the housing market, too. It's one of the busiest times as the warmer weather brings out potential home buyers to begin or resume their house hunting.

If your house has been on the market for a little while, it could be time to consider whether you are with the right agent. You should at least ask your agent about what tasks they are undertaking each week and why they feel your house hasn't as yet sold.

First impressions are crucial at any time, but the warmer part of the year provides the opportunity to add some colour to the front of your home, giving an inviting start to a potential buyer's viewing.

Have that spring clean! Just about any seller is going to tidy and clean when their house is on the market, but why not have a real spring clean? Declutter… out with the old and in with maybe just a little bit of the new.

Brighten the place up. Almost everybody loves spring, so make coming into your house feel a little bit like discovering spring has arrived. Fresh flowers, pleasant (but not overpowering) scents, freshly washed windows that, with a little bit of luck, might even show some good weather outside.
