Autumn Colours

Summer is such a great time of year, but I must admit I prefer the cooler months.   I love the crisp clean air, the warm colours as trees change to vibrant reds, yellows and oranges and the warmth of a roaring fire.

The pace of life during this time gets slower not only for us, but also for the housing market.   There is a common trend that during this time of year, there are not as many houses listed for sale compared.  However did you realise that there are some real advantages in listing you home for sale during autumn and winter.  The most important one is reduced competition in the market.  How great is that.  As a seller it means that not only are you having to compete with fewer homes in the market, but potential buyers have fewer homes to compare!

Although you may have less competition, it is still vital to remember that if you want to sell your home in the shortest possible time, you need to make sure it is picture perfect.  Buyers are still looking for their dream and your home could be it.

Here a re a few simple things you can do to make your home inviting is:

• let in as much natural light as possible and always have all your lights on when your house is being viewed.
• place warm and inviting throws over the lounge or your favourite chair to make buyers feel like this is the home they could curl up in, and read a great book.
• light a fire or make sure the house is warm and inviting.
• introduce some warm colours in accessories such as red and oranges to reflect the season and bring a sense of warmth to your decor.

Remember that if you need advice or assistance in creating the the place buyers want, call Decor Interior Style and we will be more than happy to help.
