With just six weeks until Christmas, now is a great time to get your home in order before the end-of-year rush. Whether you are planning to entertain, preparing for a summer break, or thinking ahead to a 2026 sale, a little organisation now will make the festive season far more enjoyable.
Start with a simple declutter. Clearing surfaces, cupboards and corners opens up your spaces and helps your home feel fresher and lighter. A tidy environment also makes it easier to spot small maintenance tasks you may have been putting off.
 
Consider a quick spring clean. Fresh paint touch-ups, window washing, garden trimming and pressure-cleaning paths can give your home a lift without major expense. These small improvements often make a noticeable difference to street appeal and comfort. If you are planning summer entertaining, check outdoor areas. Refresh seating, tidy the barbecue zone and ensure lighting is working well for warm evenings ahead. A few thoughtful updates can transform your outdoor setting into a relaxed festive hub.
 
For those thinking about moving in the new year, this is the perfect time to get your property market-ready. Book a time with us to get an updated appraisal to understand your current position, or if you would simply like guidance on presenting your home or exploring your options, we are here to help!
 
Taking action now means you can step into Christmas feeling prepared, confident and ready to enjoy the season.
 
If you’re considering a sale, now is the time to take advantage of this momentum. Contact the Glynis Austin Properties team on 0478 99 88 11 for a confidential discussion about your home’s value and how our team can help you achieve a standout result before the year comes to a close.
