1. Summer's Over, So Why Bother With Curb Appeal?

Summer goes by fast in the Comox Valley, but that doesn't mean the exterior of your house has to suffer once fall hits. Make sure your walkways and gutters are clear of debris and leaves, and keep your lawn maintained. Fall in the Valley can bring unexpected weather and therefore, it's in your best interests to keep your trees neatly trimmed to prevent fallen branches, which gives off a messy look.

2. People Are Indoors More, So Make The Inside Look Best

Just because it's colder outside than it is inside, doesn't mean most people are staying inside. Some people still enjoy getting outdoors during the fall to appreciate the changing leaves, especially if they have kids who need to get out energy. Try attracting buyers by decorating the house with seasonal decor.

3. It's Cold Outside, So It's Cold Inside too

Once Summer comes to an end, so does the beautiful warm weather. Bring back the warmth into your home by giving the walls a a fresh coat of paint in a warmer shade. If you don't want to make a big change, or simply just don't have the time, a few additions such as a throw blanket and pillows on the couch can go a long way to bring a cozy fall feel to the house.

4. The Price Doesn't Have To Be On Point

Incorrectly pricing your home is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in the fall. It is so important to work with a real estate professional who will help ensure your home is priced correctly for the fall market.

5. Once It's Sold, You're Done

The paper's have all been signed and the deal is done, now all that is left to do is pack and move out, right? Not exactly. The holidays are a very busy time, which means you may have a hard time finding time to pack or booking a moving company. To ensure these issues don't occur, simply plan ahead. Ask family and friends way ahead of time for help, and make sure you have a back up plan if they aren't able to make it.

 

Now that you have learnt all about the common myth of real estate during the fall, you can handle these small projects in time for fall.
