Selling homes during the fall is a bit slower than spring and the summer months.  But it can be a good time to sell because there are fewer houses on the market, which means that there is less competition.  Buyers typically want to buy quickly before winter. 

Planning to sell in fall should come in a very careful activity.  The first thing is to examine major structural systems.  There might be a want to hire a professional home inspector.  The American Society of Home Inspectors says a typical home inspection includes drainage conditions, exterior surfaces, decks, chimney, the roof, windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, furnace, air conditioner, insulation, ventilation, electrical, heating, and plumbing systems.
