Today we have five tips to help stage and sell your home during the fall.

1. Decorate for the holidays. Make sure your front porch is inviting and the rest of the house features fall decor. We personally love chrysanthemums this time of year. They offer so much fun color and can endure our crazy Utah weather. You can also use pumpkins or a nice fall wreath with red and gold leaves.
2. Air out your home. As the winter months come, we tend to keep our doors and windows shut. Because of this, houses tend to hold in more odor. This is the kind of thing you don’t want potential buyers to notice as they walk through. After cooking a meal, open a window and turn on a fan. Moisture holds odor as well, so it wouldn’t hurt to leave the exhaust fan on after showers and baths.
3. Let the light in. Light is important any time of year, but especially during fall when it starts to get darker earlier. Turn all your lights on and open all blinds, curtains, and shutters.
4. Remove the clutter. When we spend more time in our house, we tend to accumulate more things. With kids in school, you can find things like backpacks, coats, hoodies, and snowboots scattered everywhere. Before a showing, remove all the clutter and store it in your closets.

5. Stage your home for the season. If you have a fireplace, turn it on. If you have a seasonal candle, light it up. Brewing apple cider or baking cookies are also nice touches that buyers always enjoy.
