Spring in Central Ohio is more than just warmer weather and blooming flowers—it’s the season for fresh starts, especially when it comes to real estate. Whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or simply refreshing your current space, this weekend is the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and take meaningful action. Here’s how to take advantage of the season and set yourself up for success:
🌸 Buying This Spring? Here's Why It’s the Perfect Time
The spring market brings more inventory, meaning buyers have more options to choose from—and sellers tend to be more serious. Plus, homes show better this time of year, giving you a better sense of curb appeal, natural light, and the surrounding neighborhood.
Weekend Buyer Checklist:
✅ Get Pre-Approved: A mortgage pre-approval strengthens your offer and helps you know your budget before touring homes.
✅ Tour Local Listings: Take advantage of the weather and attend open houses or schedule showings with your agent.
✅ Research Neighborhoods: Drive or walk through areas you're considering. Spring is a great time to see how a neighborhood really feels.
Pro Tip: Central Ohio’s market is competitive but not overwhelming—this weekend is a great chance to get ahead of the spring rush.
💰 Selling Soon? Spring Is the Best Season to List
Spring listings typically sell faster and for more money, thanks to better weather, natural light, and increased buyer demand. But preparation is key. Start now to ensure your home hits the market looking its best.
Seller Prep Tips for the Weekend:
✅ Declutter Key Spaces – Focus on the entryway, kitchen, and primary living areas. These are what buyers notice first.
✅ Tackle Minor Repairs – Loose door handles, scuffed walls, and outdated fixtures can turn off buyers.
✅ Start Gathering Documents – Utility costs, home upgrades, warranties—these are helpful when it's time to list.
Pro Tip: A clean, well-maintained home not only photographs better but also helps buyers envision themselves in the space.
🧽 Spring Cleaning: Weekend Projects That Add Value
Even if you're not moving yet, spring is the perfect excuse to get your home feeling fresh. Small updates and a deep clean can make a big difference in comfort, function, and long-term value.
Focus on These High-Impact Areas:
🧼 Windows & Glass Doors: Clean both inside and out. More natural light = happier spaces.
📦 Declutter Closets & Cabinets: Reduce visual noise and maximize storage.
🎨 Touch Up Paint: Especially in hallways, baseboards, and doorframes.
🌱 Spruce Up Curb Appeal: Mow the lawn, trim hedges, and refresh mulch beds or plant flowers.
🧯 Check Safety Devices: Replace batteries in smoke detectors and test carbon monoxide alarms.
Pro Tip: If you’re planning to sell this spring, this is your chance to knock out projects early and get your home market-ready ahead of the rush.
