Let’s talk about something: backyards. There’s just something about summer that makes us crave outdoor living. From backyard BBQs to quiet mornings with coffee on the deck, this season is all about soaking in the sunshine and making memories outside.
As a Realtor, I’ve seen firsthand how outdoor space can make or break a sale, especially in the summer. Buyers don’t just want a house... they want a lifestyle. And in these warmer months, that lifestyle often includes a great patio, a spot for a fire pit, or even just a shady tree and a comfy chair.

I don't know about you, but summer always feels like a season of possibility. The days are longer, the energy is lighter, and for many of us, it’s a time to finally tackle the “maybe someday” goals, like buying a new home, selling the one you’ve outgrown, or simply dreaming about what’s next.
As a Realtor, I absolutely love helping clients during the summer months. It’s such a sweet spot in the market. Whether you’re buying or selling, there are unique opportunities this time of year, and a few challenges to watch for, too. So let’s talk about it!

Summer is a season when real estate feels like it’s on fast-forward, but even with all the energy, there are a few pitfalls I see over and over. One big one for sellers is assuming that summer buyers will overlook flaws. The truth? They often have more time to compare homes, and they notice things. I always advise clients to handle deferred maintenance before listing… things like leaky faucets, broken screens, or scuffed walls. Small repairs build trust, and avoiding them can lead to lower offers or deals falling apart after inspection.

Selling in July has its own rhythm, and as an agent who’s seen plenty of summer markets, I want to share what really works.
First off, summer buyers tend to be motivated. Families want to move before school starts, and people often have more flexibility to tour homes. But that also means there’s competition. My advice? Make sure your curb appeal is a top priority. Lawns grow fast in July, so keep them neatly trimmed, add fresh mulch, and consider a pop of color with potted flowers. Little touches help buyers see the home as move-in ready.
