Selling your Melbourne home in the heat of mid-summer can have its challenges, but it also provides an opportunity to showcase some of the most enticing features of your property.
But first, you should start by decluttering and deep cleaning before the marketing campaign begins. Remember to clean your windows, glass doors, bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, floating floors and floor tiles so that they sparkle with fresh feels! Hot and bothered house-hunters will be sure to find your place cool and crisp on a scorching Melbourne day.
Summer is the perfect time to draw attention to a relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle, so clean your outdoor furniture and alfresco/pergola from top to bottom and add stylish seating with cushions and accessories for a leisurely look.
Timber decks are an attractive way to define an outdoor space, but only if the timber is well maintained. If you have a deck, clean and re-stain it if necessary.
Highlight your swimming pool or outdoor spa by creating a refreshingly cool ambience with poolside recliners and sun umbrellas. Add a lush oasis of leafy pot plants and a tray of drinking glasses and iced water on your outdoor table.
Water your garden beds, pot plants and lawns thoroughly throughout your sales campaign, so they are always look lush and green (but not overgrown!) creating cool vibes for prospective buyers.
You can create a near-new look by painting any exterior surfaces that are looking faded, tired or weather-beaten. Exterior woodwork, fences, gates and letterboxes will sparkle on a sunny day when freshly painted.
And lastly, don’t forget to switch on the air conditioning and ceiling fans before private or open inspections, so buyers feel instant relief when they step inside your home.
