Getting a home ready to sell in the fall can be tricky from a curb appeal perspective.

Not as much is blooming as in spring and summer, so you have to pick and choose fall plantings that will look good. It’s also important to stay on top of raking leaves, so your home has a tidy look for potential buyers.

When it comes to plantings, I like to recommend mums. They’re pretty easy to care for, and they thrive during this time of year. They’re also not too expensive, which is a big plus!
