AS winter fades and spring approaches, many Victorians are gearing up to list their properties. This season, often called the ‘spring selling season,’ sees a surge in new listings as warmer weather invites a fresh wave of buyers. If you’re considering putting your property on the market, now’s the perfect time to start prepping.

To make your home stand out in this bustling market, focus on a few key areas. Begin with a thorough spring clean. Declutter and clean both inside and out to create a welcoming, spacious environment. Buyers will appreciate a well-maintained, uncluttered space that feels larger and more inviting.

Next, address any minor repairs. Small issues like carpet stains or cracked walls might seem insignificant, but they can impact buyers’ perceptions. Fixing these minor problems can make a big difference in how your property is received.

Don’t forget the exterior! First impressions matter, so tidy up your gardens and clear any debris. Ensure your pool, if you have one, is clean and well-maintained.

Finally, consult a local agent. Their expertise will guide you in maximising your property’s appeal and achieving the best possible sale price. With these steps, you’ll be well on your way to a successful sale this spring.
