As summer winds down and families prepare for the back-to-school season, it’s the perfect time to give your home a few finishing touches that can make a big difference in its value. Whether you’re planning to sell this fall or simply want to keep your home in top condition, these end-of-summer projects can help your property shine in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, and other North Shore communities.
Start outdoors by giving your landscaping some love. Fresh mulch, trimmed shrubs, and late-season flowers can add vibrant curb appeal. Power washing patios, decks, and walkways helps your home look fresh and well maintained. Small outdoor updates make a strong first impression for buyers. Learn more about boosting curb appeal.
Inside, focus on light refreshes that go a long way. A fresh coat of neutral paint, updated light fixtures, or new cabinet hardware can modernize your home without a big investment. These projects are easy to tackle before the busy fall season and will impress buyers who value move-in-ready homes. See more seller tips here.
Finally, check off small maintenance tasks like sealing windows, servicing HVAC systems, and testing smoke detectors. Buyers notice when a home is cared for, and these little details can help your property stand out in the competitive fall market across Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, and other North Shore communities.
