For many of us, summer holds a lifelong appeal. Maybe it is the memories of the end of school or maybe it's the warm weather – whatever the reason, summer tends to bring up positive feelings. However, not everything is better in summer. If you are going to sell your home in summer, you should know that this time of year can sometimes be surprisingly challenging for home sellers.
