Getting Ready to List? Here's Some Spring Cleaning Tips to Get Started!

Spring is the perfect time to put your home on the market. The weather is mild, the days are getting longer, and buyers are eager to find their dream home. However, before you list your property, it's important to prepare it for the spring season. This includes considering your final frost dates and preparing for the potential for rainy weather. Here are some tips for getting your home ready for spring listing.

Knowing The Final Days of Winter:
​The final frost date is the last day that you can expect the temperature to drop below freezing. This date can vary depending on where you live, but it is typically in mid April or early May. With the warm weather we've had the last few weeks, it might be March this year! Before the final frost date, it is important to remove any tender plants from your yard and cover them with frost protection cloth or bring them indoors. You should also take steps to protect any pipes that may freeze, such as wrapping them with insulation or letting them drip slowly.


Rainy or Severe Weather:
Spring is known for its rain and sometimes even severe weather, and it can be a challenge to keep your home looking its best during this time. To prepare for rainy weather, make sure your gutters are clear of debris and in good working order. You should also inspect your roof for any damage or leaks, and fix them if necessary. In addition, you may want to consider installing a drain system to prevent water from pooling around your foundation. If you are having your home open to showings, suggest removing shoes, or having towels ready for muddy feet. We want to protect your carpets or rugs!


Landscaping:
Spring is the perfect time to spruce up your yard and garden. Planting flowers, trimming bushes, and adding mulch are just a few of the ways you can improve your outdoor space. Consider adding a pop of color to your yard with bright flowers and plants, and make sure your lawn is mowed and free of any dead spots. 


Spring Cleaning:
Before you list your home, it's important to give it a deep clean. This includes cleaning windows, dusting, and vacuuming. You should also consider hiring a professional cleaning service to give your home a thorough cleaning. A clean home will show better and make a great impression on potential buyers. Organizing closets and drawers will also create the look of an organized home...no one needs to see "the junk drawer"! 


So if you're thinking of listing your home soon, or even needing inspiration for your own "Spring Cleaning" now is the perfect time to start. By cleaning up winter flower beds, preparing for rainy weather, improving your landscaping, and giving your home a deep clean, you can get your home ready to list and sell in no time!
