With the sun shining, flowers blossoming and a general improvement in everyone’s mood, it is no wonder spring is Australia’s most popular season for buying and selling real estate.
Moving out of the cooler weather where your home has been closed up a lot, September is the perfect time to give your place a really good airing. Remove any mould spots from ceilings, walls and window frames that might have crept up in winter (diluted clove oil or an 80 per cent white-vinegar solution both kill mould).
While the natural light is very beneficial in spring, its brightness can also emphasise less-than-clean surfaces. Polish your tap ware, remove cobwebs, wash your windows inside and out and dust your blinds. Take the time to polish your floors, mirrors and glass as clean reflective surfaces make a space feel larger.
As always, first impressions count! Whether it’s a lick of paint on your front door or some statement pots either side of it, never underestimate the power of street appeal. Drag out the high-pressure hose on the driveway to remove oil stains, and trim bushes or hedges in your front garden.
It isn’t called a spring clean for nothing. Sort methodically through your home, room by room, discarding clutter as you go. Not only will your home look better during the sale period but you’ll have less to pack away when you’re moving out. It can pay to store a couple of larger, non-essential furniture items to make your home feel more spacious.
Whether it’s that tap that’s been leaking for the past couple of months or some touch up work that’s needed on the paint front, now is the time to get onto repairs and maintenance around your home in anticipation of selling.
Fresh paint works minor miracles on tired walls but fight the feature wall urge –neutral colours please most buyers. And let’s not forget the garden – remove weeds, mow and edge your lawn and make sure it’s kept adequately watered. Plant a few seasonal blooms for a pop of colour and add a sprinkling of fresh mulch to your garden beds for an instant lift.
