7 Easy Steps to Get Your House Market-Ready This Spring

Ahhh spring! The season of fresh blooms, warmer days, and… a little cleaning guilt. But it’s also the perfect time to sell your home in Perth… Buyers come out of hibernation, gardens look amazing, and houses shine a little brighter in the spring sunshine.

If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, here’s our handy little checklist to make sure it’s looking its absolute best.

1. Show Off That Curb Appeal

First dates and first inspections have one thing in common: people judge hard on first impressions. Mow the lawn, weed the garden, blast the driveway with a pressure cleaner, and throw in some colourful flowers for good measure. You want buyers to pull up and think, “Ooooh, this could be the one.”

2. Declutter, Declutter, Declutter

Less is more when it comes to selling. Box up the clutter and the treadmill that collects all your washing you swore you would put away and pop it in the garage, hide away the rego and water bills on the fridge and pack away family holiday snaps - let buyers picture themselves living there. A clean, open space = instant wow factor.

3. Spring Clean… For Real

Yes, the kind of clean your mother-in-law would approve of. Windows that sparkle, bathrooms that gleam, skirting boards that don’t have a dust beard. A proper spring clean tells buyers: “This home has been loved and looked after.” Bonus points if it smells fresh too!

4. Let the Sunshine In

Natural light sells homes faster than you can say “sold sticker.” So wash those windows, whip open the curtains, and ditch heavy drapes. If your house is more dungeon than day spa, consider some new light fittings or white bright globes to brighten things up.

5. Fix the Little Things

Leaky tap? Squeaky hinge? That random hole in the wall you’ve been ignoring? Time to sort it. Buyers notice everything, and small issues can make them wonder about bigger ones. A weekend of handyman heroics now could mean thousands more in your sale price.

6. Style It Up

This is your chance to play interior stylist. Swap out heavy winter throws for lighter fabrics, add pops of colour with cushions, and bring in fresh greenery or flowers. A little seasonal styling helps your home feel fresh, modern, and ready for its Insta-closeup.

7. Team Up With Your Local Agent

Spring is busy in the Perth property market, so get your real estate agent on board early. The right marketing, timing, and strategy can be the difference between “For Sale” and “SOLD!” (preferably with multiple offers).
