My Favorite Nine Months or Three Seasons Of Selling Homes in Barrington & Palatine - Plus Garden & Selling Tips
Today September 21st 2010 is the last day of summer. Fantastic! Really you say. Yes really. So why? Well simply put I hate the heat. I now have 9 months of wonderful weather to look forward to. My husband laughed when I said that this morning.
Fall will bring cooler temperatures, beautiful leaves and time to tidy up your yards ready for the cold. September is a wonderful month, not to hot but not cold enough to make you shiver. Get out and trim your overgrown bushes, make use of the rain and fertilize the lawn, get rid of those lingering weeds. If you are selling your home and have not yet got a contract but have been on the market for a while, it's time to review the full marketing plan.
Winter does not officially start until December but we all know snow will be on the ground before then. Make sure you rake up your leaves before the first snow fall, put away your garden tools and mowers, get out the snow blower or have your servcie hired and ready to work. If you are selling-should you take your home off the market? Some Realtors will say yes but I say no. Why would you if you are committed to sell. Your buyer could come along and buy some-one elses house.
Spring brings new growth to just about every flower, shrub or tree in our yards. But it will be late spring before we fully blossom. Treat the yard to fertilizer and not just the grass. Shrubs and trees love a little extra food. Thinking of selling and want to list for sale. There is much more to listing your home and getting it in the MLS. Marketing plans needs to be designed to bring buyers. Spring is always an active market.
When the spring comes you may be happy summer is again on it's way. I wont be :( Oh well, I'll live.
