The winter is here and if you are like me, you’re probably thinking about selling your house. With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to list your home for sale. You may be wondering what to do when it comes to marketing your home in the winter months. If so, keep reading for some helpful tips on how to sell your house in the winter!
Shovel!
The first thing we always tell our winter sellers to do is shovel! Shovel the driveway, shovel the walk way, and then shovel some more! When the snow falls, shoveling is a must. Even if it snows one time in your area during winter months, make sure to clear everything out. Also keep an eye on weather forecasts and be prepared for that big storm!
Add Some Seasonal Landscaping
Adding seasonal landscaping is important especially in the winter. If you have houses for sale in Erie, CO, we suggest adding some evergreen trees to your yard. These trees will add some color to your landscaping against the gray skies and white snow.
Show Buyers Pictures of Your House in the Other Seasons
If you’re selling your house in the winter months, be sure to show potential buyers pictures of what your home looks like during other seasons. This will give them a better idea of how nice and spacious it really is! Highlighting your garden beds, landscaping, and patios will give your buyers more knowledge about your house!
Lighting is Key
Opening your shades and blinds during the selling process is key to having good natural light in the winter. Potential buyers want to see your house for what it really is. They will not be able to visualize themselves living in your home if they can’t see how bright and spacious it looks like during the day time!
Make Sure Your House Is Ready To Show At Any Moment
Being ready to show at any moment is super important when selling a winter house. Potential buyers want to be able to walk in and out of your house at any time. That means you should make sure that all the lights are turned on, there’s good natural lighting (even if it’s only from lamps), and everything is immaculate! The last thing you or a potential buyer wants is for them to show up for a showing and you or someone in your family is still there!
