PLEASE EXPLAIN... (read that in Pauline Hanson's voice) 🤪
If you’re anything like me you are likely to be shaking… not just because of the cold mornings lately, but shaking your head that we are now in the 8th month of yet another year that is flying past us!
Now, if you’re reading this blog on Thursday 10th of August, it’s only 21 days until the season of promises… spring!
If you’ve waited a few days to read this well.. it’s even closer!
Why is this blog worthy?
Reason one could be that it is personally my equal favourite season (I’m a bit like goldilocks with the weather - nothing too hot and nothing too cold is just perfect!!), but of course I’m a real estate agent, so you would also be correct in predicting the reason for the topic will be something to do with houses and moving … however it’s not about Spring!
Yeah… you heard right… this is not the typical 'it’s Selling Season and you should put your house on the market just because Spring has sprung'… we’re looking ahead and already working with many homeowners right now who are planning where they will be celebrating Christmas and what schools the kids will be attending next year!!
That’s not to say we aren’t here to help you should you have a desire to move sooner rather than later, however there’s preparation required for 99% of homes especially coming out of the winter season. Home maintenance is difficult to keep on top of when it’s freezing cold, raining and dark by the time we get home from work.
No matter when in 2023 you’re wanting to move, getting started on these few things will get that ball rolling!
• Staining decks and any exposed timbers
• High pressure cleaning - get that green stuff off the side paths, spruce up the driveway and don’t forget to look up - clean off the gutters too!
• Check your fences (it’s been windy this winter) and of course, the garden in general is bound to need a tidy up. Adding some bright flowering shrubs is an instant pick me up for any home.
