Winter is the time of year when most home buyers, like bears, retreat to their own cozy homes and hibernate. So what if you have a house you must sell right now, winter be damned? With fewer homes on the market, it’s easier to stand out!
Don’t skimp on curb appeal
Shoveling the driveway and paths to your home is a must. And you’ll want to clean out your gutters, so ice isn’t backing up and giving the impression that you have roofing issues.
Turn up the heat
When a buyer enters the house and wants to hurry up and get out of there because it is so chilly, it probably means they are going to have a bad memory associated with the home, no matter how great it is.
Fire up the fireplace
Hitting all of the buyer’s senses creates a memorable experience that will hopefully lead to them purchasing the home.
Add seasonal scents
Mulling seasonal spices such as oranges, cloves, and cinnamon on the stove, to go along with freshly baked holiday cookies cooling on a rack in the kitchen.
Pump up the holiday decor
The main reason is that buyers like to picture themselves in the home hosting holiday get-togethers, and it’s much easier to show them the potential of a house when it’s decorated for the winter months. A big wreath with a bright red bow on the front door does the trick.
