Tips to make your home look its best when it hits the market to help you get the best offers!
Each season offers its own unique issues for the real estate market. If you’re selling your home in the middle of winter, you’ll likely have to work around poor lighting and minimal visual assistance from your plants. However, here are some ideas to make sure your home delivers the best first impression.
1. Keep walkways clear.
Don’t let mother nature take up space on your walkways. Keep them clear to ensure the path to your house is safe and attractive.
2. Create atmosphere.
Make your home warm and inviting by keeping your thermostat set to a pleasant temperature when buyers come by, especially when it’s cold outside. You can tie in the idea of warmth by folding afghans or throw blankets across your living room furniture.
3. Let in light.
Pull back the curtains and open up the blinds before a showing to ensure you’re taking full advantage of any available natural light. A quick window cleaning will also ensure you don’t miss out on natural light.
4. Work with buyers’ schedules.
The winter months are often hectic as people try to accomplish tasks before the sun sets, so look for ways to add flexibility to your schedule so that buyers can view your home in the evenings and on weekends. Being flexible with your closing date can also help attract buyers.
