5 Ways to Stage Your Home for Fall

It's time to welcome the cozy fall season, and all of the wonderful details that come with that, including selling your home! Have you had your home on the market for a while, and want to do a new launch? Or maybe you are just starting to get your home on the market for the first time and need some ideas. Appealing to the season when staging a Colorado Springs home is a great idea. If you don't realize the importance of staging your home, you can read several of our past blogs to learn the importance. The Mike MacGuire team takes the presentation of your home seriously because we know how important it is. Here are a few ideas you can consider as you prepare your home to go on the market, and ways to make it especially cozy and homey for the fall season!
Feature Fall Curb Appeal
Luckily for you, Colorado Springs has a lot of fall curb appeal just with the beautiful scenery and fall colors! Keep in mind that a little will go a long way when decorating your front porch. Even just a fun fall wreath on the door and some mums on the steps can make a fun fall appearance. Be careful when decorating, especially for fall holidays like Halloween, that you only use necessary decorations, and keep it very simple. You don't want your buyers to feel like they're walking into a haunted house.

Focus on Comfort
The fall season is about comfort, warm flavors and scents, and cozy colors. When staging your home and adding the fun details of fall, think about what makes a place feel like home. The way a home smells is a huge factor, and one of the first things your buyers will notice. You can get wax melters in a variety of warm and cozy scents to spread around the home, just don't overdo it, otherwise, the buyer may think you're trying to cover something up. Spread warm throw blankets across the furniture, add a nice centerpiece on your table with pumpkins and leaves, and if you have a fireplace, play it up! Put battery operated candles in it to add the warm glow without adding the fire hazard.
Don't Overdo it
Like with anything, a little goes a long way. Not only are you keeping your home from looking like an overdone gift shop, but you are also saving your personal budget. Only buy things that you'll be apt to use again, and give yourself a budget that you have to stay under. It's easy to get wrapped up in the cute decor and fun, tempting reasons to buy the whole shop - but keep it in check.

Let In the Light
In any season, light is key. It makes your home feel larger than it is, and gives a bright, open feel. Throw open the curtains, keep the lights on, and utilize battery-operated candles to give off more light. As the autumn days start to get shorter and shorter, it can weight down emotions and lead to potentially tired home buyers. Let your home be the bright spot in their shopping, and maybe they'll come back with an offer!

Keep the Theme Going
The fall decor doesn't have to stop at the front door, or once you get past the kitchen! You can spread it around the home, from your bathroom to your bathroom! You don't have to add a lot to make an impact, either. You can put cute soap in the bathroom, a warmer bedspread on your bed, and cute floral arrangements scattered around the home!

However, if a person or family is ready , willing and able to purchase a home, we believe that owning is much better than renting. And we believe that now is a great time to buy. We are not the only ones that think owning has massive benefits or that now is a sensational time to plunge into owning your own home.  Here are a few others: Benefits of Owning Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard University “Homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord…Having to make a housing payment one way or the other, owning a home can overcome people’s tendency to defer savings.” The Federal Reserve “Renters have much lower median and mean net worth than homeowners in any survey year.” Benefits of Buying Now Trulia “Buying costs less than renting in all 100 large U.S. metr
