When buyers pull up to your home, their first impression starts before they even step inside. That’s why curb appeal is one of the most important parts of selling a home—especially in the fall. Luckily, a few simple touches can transform your home’s exterior and make buyers fall in love before they reach the front door.
Pumpkins for Seasonal Warmth
Adding a few pumpkins to your entryway is one of the easiest ways to bring autumn charm. Choose a mix of sizes—small ones for steps and larger ones for the porch. Stick with traditional orange for a cheerful, festive look, or mix in white and green pumpkins for a more modern style.
Pro tip: Skip carving pumpkins for showings; buyers will prefer a clean, polished look.
Mums for a Pop of Color
Potted mums are the perfect seasonal flower to brighten up your porch. Available in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple, mums bring life and color to your exterior. Place them in matching planters or use rustic baskets for a cozy North Idaho feel.
A Fresh Doormat for a Welcoming Touch
It may seem small, but a fresh, clean doormat instantly makes your entry more inviting. Choose one with a simple “Welcome” message or a classic fall design. It signals to buyers that your home is cared for—and that they’re invited in.
Why This Works for Sellers
Fall buyers are often motivated to move quickly before the holidays. When they see a home that feels cared for, warm, and inviting, they’re more likely to imagine themselves celebrating Thanksgiving or hanging holiday lights there. These small details spark emotional connections—and emotional connections sell homes.
