Contrary to the myth, that selling a home in fall season will not have many buyers, houses still sell in fall – may be not as much as in spring or summer. You can make the fall season work positively for you when you sell your home in fall.

Just make sure you pay attention to some of these Selling Tips and you will find that you can still sell your home in fall.

PRICE IS RIGHT . You must get expert’s advice on the right price. Make sure, the price you have for your home is right. You do not want the winter to creep in and delay the sale of your home by over-pricing.

WHO ELSE IS THERE? You are in an advantageous position. Most of the sellers assume that spring market is a perfect time to sell and they wait. So, you are in the no-competition territory. Make best use of this situation.

IS THIS A LIGHT-HOUSE? Clean the exterior, windows, drapes and blinds and bring in the light. Do not forget to turn on lights in the house. Buyers are attracted to bright homes – more so in these dark months.

HOLIDAY DECORATIONS: Now is the time to take out the wreath from the attic. Not only it cleans up the clutter in attic, it makes your home look beautiful.

DOES THE HEATING SYSTEM WORK? This is the time buyer would know about it. So, make sure, you check this. And along with, take care of small repairs, too. If some of the repairs may take longer, be ready with a list of contractors – or may be contracts – to attract buyer.

MOTIVATED BUYERS: This is the time buyers are really motivated. More so for first time home buyers. They do not want to clean the snow on their cars in the parking lots of their apartment complex.

CYBERSPACE SELLING: The significance of cyberspace is lot more than a decade ago. People do not need to see many houses in person. Many tools like virtual tours or visual tours make all the homes available to the net-surfer in their own home. Take advantage of this scenario and work with someone who has a technical edge, who can showcase your home on the World Wide Web.

SNAPSHOT OF THE REGULAR SEASON: When you sell your home in fall, you know what happened in the spring and summer market to some of the sellers. Do not repeat the same mistakes they have made, if at all. Coming back to first point, make sure PRICE IS RIGHT.
