Unique Challenges of Winter Listings


Listing in the winter and listing in the summer are very similar tasks. Today, I’ll go over what you need to know about putting your home up for sale during this colder time of year.

Are you planning on merchandising your home for sale in the winter months?

If so, I’ve got good news. Merchandising your home for sale in the winter months is no different than doing so at any other time of year.

However, there is one common mistake people often make when listing over winter. People often forget about their yard. Even though grass is dormant, you still need to make sure your yard is clean, raked, and pristine. It’s important you still present your home as a neat and attractive one.

Since winter coincides with so many holidays, it’s natural that you may want to do a little decorating. If you do choose to have a winter or holiday display, keep it at a minimum. Don’t go overboard with seasonal decor. Decluttering and depersonalizing is still the goal, even during the holiday months.
