Thinking about selling your home this winter? Selling during the colder months can be a great opportunity to stand out!
Hi, I’m Terry Tucker with eXp Realty and I love helping people buy and sell homes right here in the San Ramon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Believe it or not, selling in the Winter can be done with the right strategy and tips. Here are my top tips to make your home warm, inviting, and market-ready this winter season.
First, let’s start with curb appeal. Winter can make landscaping challenging, but there are still ways to boost curb appeal. Make sure walkways and driveways are power-washed and cleared of debris. For a pop of color you might want to add a wreath to the door or
outdoor winter plants like Pointsettias, that can make a great first impression. Next, let’s talk about lighting. Shorter days mean less natural light, so brighten things up inside! First and foremost, paint your home with a fresh coat of very light and bright paint. Next, consider adding extra lamps, upgrading light bulbs to a warmer, higher wattage, and opening blinds and curtains fully. Bright lighting creates a cozy, welcoming feel and makes rooms appear larger, which is exactly what buyers are looking for.
Next, you want to warm up the space by making your home feel cozy and inviting. Set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature, light the fireplace if you have one, and consider adding plush throws, area rugs, and soft pillows. Buyers are more likely to connect with a home that feels warm and comfortable, especially in colder months. Highlight features in your home like dual-paned windows, proper or added insulation, or a recently serviced or replaced heating system. These details reassure buyers that the home is winter-ready and energy-efficient. Also, go easy on the sprays and candles as some people may be sensitive or allergic!
Finally, you may want to emphasize cozy spaces. If you have a reading nook, a breakfast area, or a cozy corner by the fireplace, highlight these spaces. Buyers in the winter months are drawn to warmth and comfort, so showing off spaces where they can imagine themselves cozying up is a great way to make your home more appealing. A few seasonal touches can go a long way in making your home shine during the winter months.
