New Hampshire and Maine Homes and Condos

      Selling Tips for Homeowners in Portsmouth New Hampshire

If you’re thinking about selling your home or condo in Portsmouth NH, what a great season to help enhance the beauty of your home! 

Fall colors and scents are glorious here in New Hampshire and Maine.  Embrace them and use them to help showcase your condo or home to potential Portsmouth homebuyers.

Fall here in the Seacoast is just gorgeous, and these tips will help you incorporate that beauty into your Portsmouth NH home to help potential buyers see that beauty as well!

Some of these tips are common sense, and some add a really nice welcoming feeling to potential buyers and their agents, and they all offer homeowners easy things to think about doing if their home is for sale.

–   “Curb Appeal” - never forget to think about those all-important ‘first impressions’.  With the gorgeous colors of fall leaves, this can add to a home’s already existing appeal, however all those leaves laying around on the ground certainly don’t.  Clean them up!!

–   “Celebrate the Season” - this is one that I have to admit I wouldn’t have given much thought to.  Embrace the fall and have fall decorating items–hang a nice fall wreath, arrange some pumpkins & corn stalks - what a nice way to greet people at the front door.  Nothing says ‘welcome’ like a nice display of seasonal things at the entry of a home!                           

–   “Let the Light In” - oh how important this one is!!  If you have heavy curtains or drapes, open them up and let the sun shine in!!  Turn on lamps and make your home exude a warmth and welcome for showings. 

–  “Your Fireplace” - if you have a fireplace, this is a lovely time of year to show it off.  Place a log or two in the fireplace, or if you have a gas fireplace, flick the switch and have a nice fire burning/glowing to welcome potential homebuyers.  You can place a nice candle holder in the fireplace that holds several candles.  What a great way to say welcome to those looking at your home or condo!

–  “Scents of the Season” - the sense of smell is the strongest sense to appeal to.  Most people are greatly enticed by the scents of cinnamon and apples.  Bake a fresh apple pie and/or cinnamon cookies - what a great way to welcome potential homebuyers!  Leave a plate of these fresh-baked goodies with a note to have buyers enjoy a treat while viewing your home - a very nice touch that they won’t forget.

These tips were inspired by an article in Realty Times written by Michele Dawson.  They are just as timely today as when they were written several years ago.  To read the full article and see more tips, click here….
