When it comes time to list your home on the market, the decision to sell shouldn’t be taken lightly. Rather than asking your Magic 8 Ball whether now’s the time to pack up your belongings and move into a new space, you’ll want to focus on a variety of factors to be sure your decision makes the most sense for you and your family.

Here are five telltale signs that will offer the best indication that you’re ready to get off the sidelines and make a move.

Getting your house ready to put on the market can seem like a massive undertaking. From cleaning to staging, you might not know where to begin. In search of advice? Break each room into sections, and tackle the room head on with this house selling checklist.

Living Room

• Use pillows and throw blankets to soften up the room.
• Clear off the coffee table.
• Store toys out of sight.

Dining Room

With fall rapidly approaching, a change in seasons is the perfect excuse to redecorate your front porch. From a coat of paint to DIY doormats, these seasonal ideas are relatively simple and will give your home a fresh outlook for the new season.

Pumpkins are not just for pies and trick-or-treating! As this recipe shows, these seasonal gourds can be filled with fabulous fall flavors, such as apples, sage, turkey, and cranberries, to make a modern cornucopia feast!

Ingredients

You’ll drive over your home’s driveway nearly every day, as will other family members, guests and delivery trucks. If your driveway needs to be repaved, you should choose a material carefully. The size of your driveway is important, since material costs vary widely and a long driveway could be expensive to pave. You should also consider how various materials would stand up to the weather where you live and how much maintenance would be required.

Make guests feel welcome to your patriotic party with a festive red, white, and blue door banner. This simple craft is perfect for adding a rustic touch to your home’s exterior!

Materials

• 3 small burlap pieces

1. Print out and then cut out the printable USA banner located below.

2. Lay the burlap pieces down, putting the  cut out pieces of the banner on top of it.

When guests pull up to your house, you want them to think, “wow!”. Adding pep to your porch will get them to say just that! A little curb appeal can have a positive impact on the overall impression of your home.
