Spring will be here before you know it! Take the time to do some spring cleaning projects around your home that will not only make you feel refreshed for the new season but add value to your home. It’s often surprising to homeowners how regular maintenance and cleaning can impact the impression of buyers. Whether you are interested in putting your home on the market in 2023 or not, it’s always recommended to stay on top of home projects! 

Yard Clean Up 

Spring cleaning projects include the exterior and can help make a great first impression of your home! Begin by cleaning your gutters so they are clear for those spring showers. Then remove any debris and fallen branches from your yard. Don’t forget about your lawn! Give it a fresh mow and address any issue areas with fertilizer or weed killer. Trim bushes, give walkways a sweep, and, if needed, replace any outdoor light bulbs.

Fresh Paint

Now that you’ve cleaned the exterior, it’s time to move indoors. Perhaps the most underestimated way to add value to your home is by applying a fresh coat of paint. A new color on the walls can bring a breath of fresh air to your space and completely change the mood of your home and make it feel more inviting. Blues, grays, greens, and whites are timeless and calming colors that allow your personality to shine through your interior design while staying versatile.  

Deep Clean

Perhaps the most obvious spring cleaning task is deep cleaning your home, but what might not be so obvious is how much the project can impact the health of your property. In each room, gather all the cleaning supplies you will need to completely clean it. Start from the top, work your way down, and move in a circle around the room. In addition to having a clean home at the end, you’ll have a clear idea of any other repairs or updates that need to be made throughout your home. 

Organize the Garage

Raise your hand if your garage is home to all the things that you own that are homeless! You’re not alone. It’s easy for things to accumulate, especially when you’ve spent years in your home. Remove all items from the garage and place belongings into categories. Once that is complete, sort through each grouping and eliminate anything you no longer need. While everything is out of your garage, give it a good sweep and clean up any spills before organizing the things you are keeping back in the garage. 

Step into the new season with a clean home, inside and out! It will bring out the best your space has to offer.

If you have been following along with this Series, you know that in our last article, “Like an Athlete in Training – Picture This”, I shared ideas on how to personalize the show and sale of your home.

I suggested that you don’t have to “stage” your home for sale as if it is a model home. I recommended that you showcase your home’s personality and portray it as a “happy home” enjoyed by family and friends. I thought I had evidence of the wisdom of that approach when we got feedback from a buyer who said “we can see ourselves living here”.

Well – Life is about Learning and Learning is Life.

You are looking for a new home – and you are looking in all the right neighborhoods. Our location, on Florida’s First Coast, should satisfy your expectations and suit your most every need.

As you preview homes, you will be best rewarded if you consider curbs, commons and community along with the attention you focus on curtains, countertops and cupboards. What I mean is – the layout, character, atmosphere and overall environment of a neighborhood is equally as important as the fixtures, features, style and condition of the home you will ultimately choose. Of course, the neighborhood amenities and its proximity to schools, shops, services, entertainment, work and play is also tremendously important.
