Great Curb Appeal for Your Home with Fall or Halloween Decorations

Fall is one of the largest home decorating seasons we have and in Florida we have to make the change in season a visual one. With the autumn season, Halloween and Thanksgiving the fall home decorating season lasts for about 3 months and here in Florida the weather is warm and delightful.  I am a fall decorating junkie and as a matter of fact, my homes interior has been decorated for fall since September 4th and that same weekend I started my exterior decorating with fall colored mums in my porch planter and a fall welcome mat as well as a few artificial pumpkins on the porch next to the door. Next month I will add all of our spooky Halloween decorations and get ready for All Hallows Eve.

We may go a little fall festive in our home but it is not currently for sale. So, how do you decorate for the fall season if your home is currently on the real estate market for sale?

Realtors always tell you that curb appeal is important when selling your home and this is especially important in the fall. You will want to make your home inviting to your potential buyer from the road while allowing them to see your homes exterior in a good light. I would suggest avoiding putting all those fake cobwebs in your shrubs and skip the ghosts and goblins this Halloween. Decorate for the season and not the Holiday. You will want to aim for more subtle and tasteful exterior fall decorations and limit them to 4 items on your porch or entry way. 

A fall wreath is a great way to decorate your home for the season. A wreath will give your potential home buyers a welcoming feeling and let them know that you care about your home. A well appointed entry way on a home makes a great impression on your potential home buyer.  Adding a few artificial pumpkins and maybe a scarecrow or bale of hay may be another great way to go. Keeping to the rule of 4, you are sure to not go over board. Remember, you want the buyers to see your house and not all your decorations.  There are a few curb appeal basics to keep in mind. Have your lawn cut and edged weekly. Keep those pesky weeds out of the front flower beds. If your mailbox is a bit worn, get a new one. Your house numbers should be visible and presented nicely. Maybe a nice painted tile house number would improve their look. Keep your porch free of debris and cobwebs. Even during Halloween.

We wish you a very peaceful and love filled fall season and all the best in selling your home. Please keep me in mind if you or someone you know is in need of a Realtor in New Port Richey, Trinity, Port Richey or Land O'Lakes Florida. I am always here to help.
