Tips for Selling Your Property in the High Season

Summer is the peak season for real estate sales, as buyers are eager to settle into their new homes before the start of the school year or simply take advantage of the pleasant weather for house hunting. To make the most of this opportune time, it’s essential to showcase your property in its best light through effective home staging. In this article, we’ll explore some valuable tips and strategies to help you prepare and present your home for sale during the vibrant summer season.

EMBRACE NATURAL LIGHT

During summer, sunlight floods through windows, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere. Make the most of this natural light by opening curtains and blinds, allowing sunshine to highlight your home’s best features. Clean windows thoroughly to maximize brightness and ensure unobstructed views. If your property lacks abundant natural light, strategically placed mirrors can help reflect light and create an illusion of space.

REFRESHING CURB APPEAL:

First impressions matter, and the exterior of your home sets the tone for potential buyers. Enhance your curb appeal by maintaining a well-manicured lawn, adding colorful potted plants or flowers, and ensuring the entrance is clean and inviting. Consider painting the front door in a cheerful hue to create a focal point and make your property stand out.

SHOWCASE OUTDOOR SPACES:

Take advantage of the pleasant weather by showcasing your outdoor spaces. Create inviting seating areas on decks, patios, or balconies, complete with comfortable furniture and attractive accessories. Stage these areas to evoke a sense of relaxation and emphasize the potential for outdoor entertaining, a key feature many buyers desire during the summer months.

DECLUTTER AND DEPERSONALIZE:

Clearing clutter is crucial for successful home staging, regardless of the season. In summer, go the extra mile by removing any unnecessary items that could make spaces feel stuffy or crowded. Pack away winter clothing, heavy blankets, and any bulky furniture that might impede the flow of natural light. Depersonalize by removing family photos and personal belongings, allowing potential buyers to envision themselves in the space.

Summer is a prime season for selling homes, and by implementing these home staging tips, you can make your property stand out among the competition. From embracing natural light to creating a summer ambiance and showcasing outdoor spaces, each step plays a vital role in attracting potential buyers and helping them envision their own summer dreams within your home. By following these guidelines, you’ll increase the chances of a successful sale and maximize the appeal of your property during the high season.

Summer SAFETY FOR HOMEOWNERS

Summer is a season of sunshine, warmth, and activities, but it can also bring unpredictable and extreme weather conditions that pose risks to homeowners and their properties. From powerful storms to scorching heatwaves, it’s crucial to take proactive measures to safeguard your home and loved ones. In this article, we will explore essential tips and strategies to help you protect your property from extreme weather events during the summer season.

PREPARE FOR SEVERE STORMS

Summer storms, including thunderstorms and hurricanes, can bring heavy rain, high winds, and lightning. Ensure your property is prepared by trimming tree branches that may be close to power lines or your home’s structure. Secure loose items in your yard, such as patio furniture or garden decor, to prevent them from becoming projectiles in strong winds. Consider investing in storm shutters or impactresistant windows to protect against flying debris.

REINFORCE YOUR ROOF

A sturdy and well-maintained roof is essential for withstanding extreme weather conditions. Inspect your roof for any signs of damage, such as loose or missing shingles, and repair them promptly. Ensure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to prevent water damage during heavy rains. Consider reinforcing your roof with hurricane straps or other appropriate reinforcements to increase its resilience against high winds.

MAINTAIN PROPER DRAINAGE:

Flooding can be a significant concern during summer storms, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Ensure your property

has proper drainage systems in place to redirect water away from your home’s foundation. Clean and maintain your gutters regularly to prevent blockages that could lead to water damage. Consider grading your yard to promote proper water flow and install French drains or a sump pump if necessary.

PROTECT AGAINST HEATWAVES

Summer heatwaves can be intense and potentially dangerous. Keep your home cool by ensuring your air conditioning system is in good working condition. Clean or replace air filters regularly to maintain efficiency. Consider installing window coverings or reflective films to reduce heat transfer from the sun. Stay hydrated and create cool areas within your home, such as a basement or designated cool room, to retreat from extreme heat if necessary.

PREVENT FIRE HAZARDS

Dry conditions and increased outdoor activities during summer can increase the risk of wildfires and accidental fires. Clear dry leaves, debris, and dead vegetation from your property regularly. Trim tree branches that are close to power lines or your home. Store flammable materials safely, away from heat sources. Install smoke

detectors on each floor of your home and test them regularly. Have fire extinguishers readily accessible and ensure all family members know how to use them.

SECURE OUTDOOR STRUCTURES

Strong winds and severe weather can damage outdoor structures like sheds, gazebos, or fences. Ensure these structures are securely anchored and properly maintained. Store outdoor equipment, such as grills or lawn furniture, in a secure location or tie them down during storm warnings. Consider reinforcing your fence or investing in windresistant materials to minimize potential damage.

While summer is a season of enjoyment and relaxation, it’s crucial to prioritize safety and protect your property from extreme weather events. By preparing for severe storms, reinforcing your roof, maintaining proper drainage, protecting against heatwaves, preventing fire hazards, securing outdoor structures and equipment, staying informed, and having a plan, you can significantly reduce the potential risks and ensure the safety of your home and loved ones. Remember, proactive measures and preparedness are key to mitigating the impact of extreme weather during the summer season.

DECOR SWAPS TO KEEP YOUR HOME COOLER THIS summer 5

As the temperature outside rises, the annual quest for a cooler home begins — but without spending a fortune on our utility bills.

Try incorporating these homecooling design moves. By swapping out heavy textiles for airy fabrics and setting up effective cross-ventilation, you can create a cooler house without touching the thermostat. Here’s how to design your way to a chill, summer-ready house.

1

Ditch the fuzzy rugs. If your home is full of cozy wool rugs or fluffy shag rugs, give them the summer off. Roll them up and store them safely, making sure they are protected from bugs and out of direct sunlight so they won’t fade.

Then, embrace a bare hardwood or stone floor, which is cooler underfoot. For those spots that need a rug, such as beside the bed or under the kitchen sink, swap in a flatwoven rug in a natural fiber.

2 Invest in cooling window treatments. Gauzy, lightweight curtains might create a summery vibe in a room, but because they let lots of sunlight filter through and won’t help cool the space. To lower your energy bill, invest in shades that have a white plastic lining on the outside of the window as this reflects back as much light as possible.

3 Create cross ventilation

For those who don’t have central air conditioning, cross ventilation is your best friend on hot days and will help keep the fresh air circulating.

To start, open two windows (or a window and a door) that are located across the room or even across the house or apartment, depending on the

size of your space. Set up a fan next to one window, so it will help propel the fresh incoming air throughout your home. The more powerful the fan, the better the airflow. For extra cooling power, try this trick: Place a bowl of ice in front of the fan to quickly chill the air. If you have a second fan, position it facing out toward the second window, so it will pull the air inside your home back outside.

Pro tip: If you’re working from home this summer, arrange your desk near the path of the airflow, so you’ll get a refreshing breeze all day long.

4Less is more. If you typically have your bed and living room sofa piled with an abundance of snuggly blankets and throw pillows, it’s time to streamline.

Now is a great time to wash any removable throw pillow covers and store most of them away for the season. If you decide to leave a pillow or two out, swap the heavy velvet covers for lightweight linen or cotton ones.

Instead of keeping cozy blankets strewn across the bed or sofa, store them nearby in a handwoven floor basket, just in case the A/C gets a little chilly at night.

5Cool down your bed Fact: No matter how hot your home may get during the day, it somehow manages to feel warmer the second your head hits the pillow. To avoid summertime night sweats, building a cooler bed is a must.

Start by investing in ultra-breathable bed sheets. Even if you’re not a fan of a top sheet during the fall or winter months, it may be the perfect replacement for a duvet or comforter this summer.

And don’t forget a cooling pillow. So long, night sweats!
