Capture Your Home at Its Best: Why June Is Peak Season to Prep for Sale

Capture Your Home at Its Best: Why June Is Peak Season to Prep for Sale

Even if you're not planning to sell until later in the year, now is the time to schedule your photos. Colorado’s early summer light and lush curb appeal could make all the difference—especially with expert guidance from the Ford Fountain Team.

 

Showcase Your Home at Its Peak

In real estate, first impressions are everything—and that starts with photos. Today’s buyers begin their search online, and homes with standout photography not only grab attention, they get more showings, stronger offers, and sell faster.

That’s why June is one of the most important months of the year to prep your home—even if you're not listing until fall or next year. Here in Colorado, early summer brings the kind of natural beauty that can’t be faked:

  • Trees and landscaping are full and green

  • Flowers are blooming

  • Sunlight is soft, golden, and flattering

  • Pools sparkle, patios shine, and exteriors pop

Waiting until fall or winter to capture images of your home often means photographing dead grass, bare trees, or even snow—elements that don't exactly scream “dream home.” Photos taken in peak season highlight the lifestyle today’s buyers are looking for: inviting outdoor spaces, vibrant landscaping, and natural light that fills every room.

 

Professional Photography Isn’t a Bonus—It’s a Strategy

85% of buyers judge a home based on listing photos. We know from national data and our own market experience that listings with professional photos:

  • Sell up to 32% faster

  • Can earn up to 47% more per square foot

  • Generate more online engagement and showings

  • Homes with aerial photos sell 68% faster than those with standard images alone

That’s why we don’t just snap a few photos—we create a full visual strategy for your home. Our trusted photographers know how to capture your home’s best features in the best light. From timing the shoot to make the most of golden hour, to staging indoor and outdoor spaces to show off your home’s livability—we go the extra mile.

 

This Is the Ford Fountain Difference
