This past weekend brought an unexpected blast of winter to North Georgia, reminding us all that no matter what happened on Groundhog Day, Spring is still many weeks away. Maybe you’ve heard that the best time to buy or sell a home is during the busy spring market, traditionally the hottest time of year in real estate. However, in 2020 that old “rule” has been upended.
January 2020 was one of the busiest on record for Peggy Slappey Properties agents. Traffic in new home communities is way up from previous years at the same time, and resale properties – especially in Gwinnett County – are hot. This is great news for the metro Atlanta real estate market, and even better news for both buyers and sellers.
Did you know December can be a great time to sell your home? The winter season traditionally sees a slow-down in sales simply because there are fewer homes on the market, but buyers in December are highly motivated, often looking to move quickly and settle in for the New Year. Home staging can make all the difference, especially when holiday decorating is thrown into the mix. Here are a few tips to make your home stand out and sell fast this holiday season:
Keep Holiday Decorations Simple

Fall is a fantastic time to sell your home. Buyers at this time of year are highly motivated to find a home quickly, before the holiday season arrives. Autumn foliage gives a timely, colorful boost to your home’s curb appeal, and there are some easy staging tips to make your home more welcoming than at any other time of year.
Turn Up the Lights
As the days grow shorter, it becomes more important than ever to let your home’s light shine. Literally, turn on the lights in each room before showings, as well as outdoor lights. Replace dingy bulbs and clean light fixtures so that soft, white light fills each space. Make your home a welcoming sanctuary on a dark evening, and home shoppers will remember it as a brightly lit, friendly place they could
Is your home’s landscaping a little tired this fall? Turns out, now is the ideal time to place new plants for a landscape that will dazzle come spring! Planting now allows roots to take hold and grow strong throughout the winter months, especially here in Metro Atlanta, where the ground never freezes. Amp up your home’s landscaping curb appeal this fall with a mix of bulbs, shrubs, trees, and perennials.
Perennials
The cooler fall months are the ideal time to plant perennials. Unsure what makes a plant a perennial? These are plants that come back year after year, as opposed to annuals – like marigolds or geraniums – that must be replaced each spring or summer. The most popular perennials in the south are hostas for shady areas and knock-out
Monday, September 23rd is the officially the first day of fall! Shelves are stocked with everything pumpkin spice, mums are blooming, and leaves will soon start changing color. If you’re thinking of selling your home, autumn is a great time to do it. Fewer homes in the market means less competition and a faster sale.
Help buyers fall in love at first sight by sprucing up your curb appeal with six easy tips:
Autumn colors are beautiful, but not on your lawn. Keep your grass free from leaves and other debris that gathers this time of year by raking and bagging regularly.
Spiders and other creepy-crawlies move their homes closer to yours as the temperatures drop, leaving nests and webs galore. Clean your front porch and doorway
