🍂 Selling Your Home This Fall? Cozy Up Your Space for Buyers

🏡 Seasonal Maintenance Buyers Notice

Before listing, take care of the little things that signal to buyers that a home is well-maintained, for example:

• Clean gutters & downspouts – water issues can scare buyers away.

• Seal windows & doors – improves energy efficiency (big selling point).

• Service your HVAC – a fresh filter and serviced system reassure buyers they won’t face surprise costs.

(Pro tip: Have receipts handy to show buyers these things were done.)

🌿 First Impressions with Fragrance

Skip artificial sprays and candles, instead, try a natural simmer pot during showings or open houses. A warm, inviting scent makes buyers feel at home.

Recipe idea: orange slices + cinnamon sticks + vanilla.

Using HoMedics diffusers and Pura smart fragrances can create a welcoming atmosphere by filling your home with clean, inviting scents, which not only enhances everyday living but also makes a powerful impression on potential buyers when selling your house.

Smells clean and cozy without being overwhelming.

☕ Staging with Seasonal Touches

Fall decor can create emotional connection, but keep it simple and neutral so buyers focus on the home:

• Swap light linens for cozy throws on couches.

• Use neutral plaid pillows for a subtle seasonal feel.

• Add layered rugs near the entryway.

• Place a vase of eucalyptus branches for freshness.

• A few mums or pumpkins outdoors boost curb appeal without clutter.

🍎 The Kitchen as a Buyer Magnet

Buyers gather in the kitchen, make it feel like the heart of the home:

• Stage with a freshly baked loaf (like apple bread) on the counter.

• Set out neutral mugs + a carafe of coffee or cider.

• Keep counters clear, just styled with a fall cutting board or wood bowl.

🌱 Curb Appeal in Fall

• Aerate your lawn so it looks healthy and lush.

• Rake leaves and keep walkways clear.

• Add seasonal potted plants at the entry to frame the doorway for photos and showings.
