Can We Get A Little A/C Action In Here?

June 16, 2008 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Home Selling

Summer has spung (or does Summer sum?).

The weather man says it’s going to be 107 this week.

And I don’t mind the temperature, really. You live in the desert long enough, you learn how to deal with it, how to keep cool.

However, it is time to issue my annual summer complaint about people trying to sell their home in the Tucson summer while leaving off their air conditioner.

I can’t tell you how many vacant houses I’ve walked into over the past few days where it was 90 degrees. Inside. I tell you, no one wants to spend time in and contemplate a home when you’re slowly roasting. It’s exhausting.

Please, those of you selling your home here in Tucson, vacant or not – let’s turn on that air conditioner. Give yourself a fighting chance to keep someone in your home long enough to possibly consider purchasing it. You don’t have to set it to 72, somewhere in the low 80’s is acceptable.

Your potential Buyers will thank you!
