There are many people who say that selling your home during winter is not a good idea. Do not take that to heart…you can sell your home during any season, even the winter time! Some people even say that people are more serious about purchasing a home during the winter time as they can leisurely look for homes and it not be as stressful as during the spring or summer. Not only the fact that it may be a leisurely search, but they may also have an actually reason for having to look for the home, whether it is due to a job relocation, expiring lease, or other personal reason. So if you live somewhere during the winter there it is incredibly cold (I’m talking snow here!) that means they are a serious buyer if they are battling snow and ice! The snow may work in your benefit too…if they like your home upon first look, they may not want to search all over town for a different home.
With the cold weather in the winter, you can also use the internet to your advantage! Especially since during the winter, it gets dark early, it can be difficult for people who work a 9am-5pm job. In saying this, make sure that your home is on as many listing websites as possible with a number of photographs and thorough description of the home. There are also options to add a virtual 3D walkthrough on the listings as well.
Something else that is helpful in getting a home sold (winter time or not!) is making sure that your home is prepped nicely and staged as well. If this is not something that you are good at, there are many companies that you can hire for this task. For in-person showings, make sure that the house is warm and comfortable. You could even have hot coffee or tea available for the potential buyers.
