rent a power washer to clean the

Spring has finally sprung in
Indianapolis, and for many local
residents that means listing their
home for sale. But why is spring
such a popular time to sell? There
are many benefits to advertising
your home for sale in the spring:
simply put, it’s the time when many
families are looking to buy. The
weather is warmer, schools are
letting out, and many families are
looking to purchase their next home
and get settled before a new school

the spring increases your chances of
finding a buyer quickly.

it ready to sell. Having a home that

your yard is at its best. Make sure
that flower beds are weeded, and
clean any leaves or sticks that may
have accumulated over the winter.
Adding bright flowers and a fresh
layer of mulch will help your beds
look more appealing. Planting some
colorful annuals in containers and
window boxes is another easy way
to add some beauty to the outside of
your home.
Trees and shrubs will need
your attention, too. Trim any tree
branches that obstruct the view of
your home. Buyers can’t fall in love
with your house if they can’t see it!

can also help your lawn appear
larger. This is appealing to families
with children, who will want lots of
room for their kids to play!
Investing a small amount of time
and money into improving your
home’s curb appeal can give you
great results. These small touches
can make a big difference! As experienced realtors, we can give you
more tips to help your home sell
fast, and can work with you to find
your next place. Buyers are looking
for homes this spring, so make sure
that yours is ready for them!
