Have you ever looked at your home around 6:30 in the evening and thought, “This room feels completely different than it did this afternoon”?
That matters when you’re selling.
As the days get shorter, more buyers may be walking through homes after the natural light has started to fade. Corners that felt bright at noon can suddenly feel darker. Heavy window treatments can take away what little daylight is left. Even the walk from the driveway to the front door becomes part of the showing experience.
This is why I like sellers to look at their home at the same time buyers are likely to see it.
Turn on the lamps. Open the window treatments. Walk through each room and notice where the light falls off. Then step outside and look at the entry from the street.
Sometimes the details that change the feeling of a home are surprisingly small.
If you’re thinking about selling this fall or winter, save this carousel and take another look at your home around dusk.
