If you are selling your home during the summer months, play up the outside areas. Outdoor areas add to the square footage of the house. Play up outdoor spaces such as gardens, patios and terraces and the pool area. Stage these areas as you do indoor spaces, so people see how you use and enjoy them. Of course, don’t forget to keep the indoors neat and tidy.
