Summer is here and it's getting hotter each day, so why not entice a few extra buyers in with the promise of a refreshing cool down? We are revisiting some of our tips to help potential buyers stay cool. In addition, you'll make your home more appealing, potentially bringing in more offers after an open house or home showing.

A few hours before potential buyers arrive, turn the thermostat down a few degrees. The chilled air will be a great welcome to the arriving buyers. Have ceiling fans on a low to medium speed for better air circulation.

Instead of the stereotypical cookies baking in the oven (which will heat the kitchen), provide a pitcher of lemonade, strawberry limeade, or iced tea with a set of disposable cups. Then, as they wander the yard with the refreshment, they'll be better able to envision themselves enjoying summer days in their new home. Check out the Strawberry Limeade Recipe below!

If you are planning to make some updates to your home before you list it, a simple and impactful update is to repaint. This can give your home a fresh look and clean feel.  When you choose colors, pick cool tones, like blues and greens. A subtle accent wall can change the way the house feels, or at a minimum, add cooling colors in easy ways like throw pillows.

Another update you can make this summer to help your home feel more enticing is to add a water feature. This can add to the cool feel without actually lowering the temperature. Before any showings or an open house, make sure any water features are on and prominently displayed.
