How to prep your home for the spring market, in the middle of February

While Upstate NY may still be blanketed in snow, we can hold off on enhancing curb appeal until the grass begins to bloom. In the meantime, take advantage of the chilly weather to focus on some indoor preparations:

1. Address necessary repairs and renovations inside - Lawless Real Estate can assist you in identifying repairs that might arise during a home inspection or that could deter potential buyers. Contact us today for a complimentary Market Analysis to find out what your home needs.

2. Declutter and depersonalize - It’s crucial to start removing personal items ahead of showings. If you’re planning to move this spring, now is the time to declutter and pack away non-essential items. This will simplify the moving process once you close. Listing in spring aligns perfectly with summer moving, and we New Yorkers love to make the most of the summer weather.

3. Conduct a deep clean - We all know our homes can get a bit “messy” with pets, kids, and let’s be honest, husbands. It’s essential to clean before listing and taking photos, so why not kick off a deep clean now while it’s still cold outside?
