Fall Staging Ideas for Your Home

If you’re selling your home, you have a great opportunity to make your home feel cozy, warm, and welcoming through the fall season. While you don’t have to go overboard and make your home look like the fall aisle at your local department store, you can add accents and scents to make your home feel exceptionally fall-ish. The MacGuire Team highly recommends that you stage your home, because studies have shown (and our own experience proves) that staged homes do much better on the market. While staging your furniture is important, it can also be valuable to stage for the season, so here are a few tips to help match your home to the fall season.

Make Great First Impressions

The first thing that buyers will see is the front of your home. Dress up your porch and front door with some festive fall decor. It doesn’t have to be over the top, but with some tasteful accents, you can make your home feel welcoming right from the start. Hang a beautiful wreath on your front door with some orange and red for a warm fall feel. If you have a large front porch and want to add more, you can add a hay bale with a scarecrow or some pumpkins up the steps.

The Feel of Fall

Fall is more than just a decor or style, it’s a feel. It’s a favorite season of many because of the way it makes them feel - so add the fall feel to your home. Scattering fall leaves around your home in garland form, or filling a bowl with small pumpkins and leaves can go a long way. Throw a cozy blanket on your couch and add some plaid pillows if your home decor would match for an extra special cozy feel.

The Scent of Fall

Did you know that fall just has a special scent? Anything spicy, warm, and natural can make your home feel like fall. Pumpkin everything has hit the market in the last few years, so you are sure to be able to find pumpkin, caramel, cinnamon and more to make your home smell wonderful. While making your home smell wonderful is important, remember to NOT leave candles burning when you leave your home before a showing. You can get oils with reeds that help diffuse the scent or consider a wax melter. Just make sure to turn anything off before you leave - don’t worry, the scent will linger.

Selling a Home in the Fall

This season can be a great time to sell your home because it’s not as popular as other times. Popular or not, though, this is a GREAT time to sell your home. The market has been booming with buyers, in fact, so many that there are hardly enough homes to keep up.

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
