Planning To Sell Your Home in 2026? Start the Prep Now.

Thinking About Selling Next Spring? Start Now (You’ll Be Glad You Did)

If selling your home is on your mind for next spring, the busiest time in real estate, now’s the time to start getting ready. We know that sounds early, but a little planning this fall and winter will make a big difference once the market gets busy again.

You don’t need to do a full renovation, but the homes that shine next spring will be the ones that were prepped right. Small repairs, a little fresh paint, maybe some decluttering, it all adds up. And starting now means you can spread those projects out, take your time, and avoid the springtime scramble.

Think of it like this: more time = less stress = better results. Whether it’s fixing a leaky faucet, updating light fixtures, or finally tackling that roof repair, getting a head start gives you room to do it right and to find great local contractors without paying for rush jobs.

If you’re not sure where to start, that’s where we can help. Every neighborhood and price point is a little different, and what’s worth doing in one area might not matter as much in another. We can walk through your home (even months in advance) and help you figure out:

  • Which updates will give you the most bang for your buck
  • What buyers in your area are actually looking for
  • And what can wait — because not every project needs to make the list

So if a spring sale is in your plans, now’s the perfect time to start talking. A little prep this fall will make your home stand out later and help you feel confident and ready when it’s time to list.

As always from all of us at Matt Engen Group, thanks for reading.
