1. Focus on Fall Curb Appeal.
When your house is on the market, your top priority should be your home's curb appeal. Unfortunately, however, keeping an attractive-looking yard gets tougher in the fall. Your summer flowers will have already come and gone, so make sure you dress up your front steps with pots of brightly colored mums, and a few pumpkins as soon as they're available.
You'll also want to make sure your yard and beds are kept clean of falling leaves. Keeping up with falling leaves can be a chore, especially when they start falling during peak season. Raking is no job for a perfectionist, and a few leaves here and there are okay. Overall, however, you need to be sure that potential buyers see your yard and home, not dim shapes covered up by three inches of leaves.
Lastly, realize that as your lawn plants, shrubs, and trees start to go dormant for the winter, paint chips and dirty siding will become even more noticeable. You don't want these little issues to become big problems, and you definitely don't want to do repairs in the colder months. It's a good idea to pressure wash your home before it gets too cold.
