🛠️ Summer Ready: Prepping Your Home for the Market in June
☀️ Why June Is Prime Selling Season
School’s out, schedules open up, and buyers are actively looking to move before fall. June is one of the hottest months for real estate activity — literally and financially.
If you’re planning to sell your home in Nashville or Orange County, now is the time to prepare. Here’s how to make your property shine in the early summer market.
🧹 1. Start With a Deep Clean
A spotless home makes a strong first impression.
-
Hire a professional or set aside a weekend to clean top to bottom.
-
Don’t skip windows, baseboards, or light fixtures.
-
Clean patios and outdoor furniture — buyers are looking at outdoor living space this time of year.
🌼 2. Boost Your Curb Appeal
Summer curb appeal sells.
-
Add fresh mulch, trim bushes, and plant summer flowers.
-
Power wash walkways and driveways.
-
Make sure your house numbers and mailbox are in good shape.
🏠 3. Embrace Light and Bright
Let the sunshine in.
-
Clean window treatments and open blinds for showings.
-
Add light bedding and summery décor to make your home feel breezy and bright.
-
Use soft neutrals and fresh scents to appeal to a wide audience.
📸 4. Book Summer Listing Photos Now
Natural summer light is perfect for listing photography — but photographers book fast.
Get your session on the calendar now so you're ready to list by late June or early July.
🔧 5. Knock Out Small Repairs
Fix anything buyers will notice:
-
Leaky faucets
-
Squeaky doors
-
Peeling paint
-
Missing hardware
These low-cost updates go a long way in building confidence in your home's condition.
💡 Seller Tip: Don't Wait
Many sellers think about listing in July — but smart ones prep and go active in June, when competition is lower and buyer interest is high.
Bonus: You’ll also beat the midsummer heat and vacation slowdown.
