Preparing your home for sale
A full nine weeks have passed since Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter. That time has passed but even so, we have recently seen freezing temperatures, summer heat, and a weekend of blustery winds, all in a span of two weeks.
Welcome to the DMV! It’s no wonder that expansion and contraction create cracks and leaks in our houses. As I write this, my daffodils are in bloom, the green stems of my daylilies are growing tall, and an assortment of weeds are poking out among the clumps of grass in my yard – all signs that spring is here and with it, the dawning of the 2023 real estate market.
The inventory of homes for sale remains low, in some areas even lower than last year, and prices are still inching up despite higher interest rates.
If you’re selling your home or investment property this spring, you should already be making improvements that will showcase it in its best light and garner the most interest and the highest price.
