Fall brings change: Leaves fall, apples ripen, and the air gets crisp. Home sellers need to stay aware of changes and avoid these three fall mistakes:
Price too high: When the real estate market in the summer is hot, but begins to cool in the fall, sellers make a mistake when they don’t adapt and keep their prices high.
Selling alone: Watching homes sell fast in the summer may tempt a seller to go at it alone. But that could be a big mistake. Studies show FSBO homes are on the market longer and sell for as much as 20% less.
Leaving the leaves: If you have a lot of fall foliage, make sure you keep your landscaping clear of debris. You don’t want to telegraph all the yard work a buyer will have to do each fall.
