The Ultimate Outdoor Staging Tips to Sell Faster This Summer

June 09, 20251 min read

As the sun shines longer and buyers come out in droves, summer is one of the best times to sell your home in Central Ohio. But first impressions matter—and nothing speaks louder than your home's exterior.

Here are my top outdoor staging tips to help your home stand out and sell quickly this summer:


1. Focus on the Front Entry

Your front door is the focal point. A fresh coat of paint (try navy, red, or black), a new welcome mat, and a few potted plants create a warm and inviting vibe.


2. Clean and Power Wash Everything

Sidewalks, driveways, siding, and even your mailbox benefit from a quick refresh. A clean exterior shows buyers that your home has been well cared for.


3. Update Landscaping for Maximum Curb Appeal

Mow regularly, trim bushes, pull weeds, and plant seasonal flowers. Keep it neat and simple—think of it as makeup for your yard.


4. Create Outdoor Living Spaces

Stage your patio, porch, or deck with seating, outdoor rugs, and cozy accents like string lights or cushions. Buyers want to envision themselves relaxing or entertaining there.


5. Highlight Exterior Features at Night

Summer showings can happen later in the day. Use soft lighting to highlight pathways, patios, and landscaping. Solar lights are an easy and budget-friendly option.


Final Touch: Add Seasonal Style

A cheerful wreath, summer-themed doormat, or a small flag on the mailbox adds charm without overwhelming buyers.
