Warm Up to Winter Listings!

The colder months can mean hot sales in the Real Estate market- so if you’re thinking of selling anytime soon, listen up!

In today’s market, home buyers are not taking a Christmas vacation. With the invention of the Internet came a 24/7 Real Estate shopping season, meaning YES- tons of potential buyers are looking for their dream home right this minute!

Oh it’s snowing outside? Not a problem these days. Serious home buyers know that scoping out the perfect home can happen at anytime, during any weather, online. That said- your home's online presence has to be on point to reel in the window shoppers. An experienced Real Estate Agent (like us!) can help you capture the very best features of your home, making it easier for potential buyers to get the warm and fuzzies even on the coldest of days- so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Now, luckily for you, not everyone sees the potential of winter listing- meaning less competition! Being the big fish in a little pond has so many advantages- from getting more face time with potential buyers, to a faster sell and closing. Not to mention, winter buyers are serious- so serious that they are ready to bundle up and head into the cold just to get a look at YOUR home. Time is on your side with many buyers looking to find a new home sweet home before year end- from expiring leases to end of year tax breaks, winter buyers can be working with some serious timing constraints.

But wait, there's more! Most people take time off from work during the Holidays- making it the ideal time to do that window shopping we talked about, schedule showings, and even make moving plans!

So, now that you have heard some reasons you should list this winter- here are some tips to get your Holiday house ready for those buyers!

1. Let your home shine through your Holiday decor- keep it simple this year and dial the holly jolly back just a touch. Make sure your home can be seen through the decor, because it should be the star of the show! You want potential buyers to imagine THEIR future Holidays there, not feel crowded out by yours.
2. Be the hostess with the mostest- think about showings and open houses like classy Holiday parties. Keep it cozy with classic holiday music, bake some treats, and show off that amazing fireplace.
3. Light it up- Make your home exterior looks as cozy as it feels on the inside! Skip the over the top display this year, and opt for classic wreaths and subtle spotlights. Remember, you don’t want to take away from your homes true beauty!
