After a long, dark winter, spring has finally arrived in Southern Ontario! With it comes warmer temperatures, longer days and buyers looking to plant new roots by purchasing a new home. 

Staging is a great way to impress potential buyers if you want to sell your Mississauga home fast and stand apart from the competition. Here are six easy tips to help you brighten up your home and make it a welcoming place for buyers in the spring real estate market:

1. Whip your yard into shape

You need to get your yard into shape when selling in the spring. Pull out your patio furniture from storage, clear out all winter yard debris and plant frost-resistant flowers in planters for added colour.

2. Spring clean your home

Say goodbye to dust bunnies! A sparkling clean house will impress buyers and make your home very appealing. Begin cleaning from the top of your home, such as ceilings and light fixtures, and work your way down to floors and carpets. 

3. Box up your winter wardrobe

Bulky winter clothes like sweaters, boots and jackets occupy prime wardrobe space. You can make your closets look more spacious by boxing these items up, which is a huge selling point for buyers.

4. Tidy up the entryway

If your welcome mat has seen better days, it's time to buy a new one. A clean, tidy doorway will help set the tone for buyers touring your home.

5. Bring spring aromas indoors

Nothing says spring like tulips and daffodils! They add beautiful pops of colour and a welcoming aroma.

6. Swap in bright colours

Say goodbye to heavy, dark flannel textiles and hello to crisp linens in warm colours. A simple switch of duvets, coverlets and pillows can reinvigorate a space.

Remember, staging doesn't have to be overly expensive or time-consuming. Using these six simple tricks, you can bring spring indoors and make your home feel welcoming to potential buyers.
