If your home is on the market during the summer months, the outdoor space takes a larger stage for potential buyers than it does at colder times of year. To take advantage of this, add a pop of color to your outdoor areas by planting flowers. Additionally, do your best to keep your grass green by watering it often. Clean up your yard as well as any porch or deck areas that you have. Be sure to keep your yard neat and all toys, BBQ equipment, and other outdoor paraphernalia cleaned up. Do your best to clear out any gnats, mosquitoes, and other bugs so that they don’t distract potential buyers. Finally, really inspect your outdoor areas and do any general maintenance that is lacking. This might include painting your front door or trim, filling holes in the yard, fixing broken screens, or anything else that will help the exterior of your home shine and sell.
