Take advantage of the winter chill and make your property
stand out as extra warm and cosy! Here are some great tips to make your home
more appealing when selling during the winter season:
Street appeal
Freshen up your property by putting out potted flowers, or
planting some new plants to brighten up the garden area. Rake up leaves, prune
dead branches and leaves, and mow your lawn to help enhance your street appeal.
Winter staging
A warm fire can be a great asset in winter. If you have a
fireplace, ensure it is lit during an inspection. Blankets can also be used on
couches and in the bedroom to create a cosy vibe, making buyers feel good and
more comfortable in your property.
Let the light in!
At inspection time, pull back the curtains and make sure all
your windows are clean. This enables maximum natural light into your home.
Use lighting to your
advantage
On dim winter days, you may not have as much natural light
as you want. Then it’s time to turn on all your lights and lamps to banish dark
corners and give your home a cosy warm glow.
Keep the heating on
When people enter your warm home from the cold outside, it
will surely be noticed and noted! However, keep it a comfortable temperature –
you don’t want people to feel like they are walking into a sauna.
Appeal to their sense
of smell
Before the inspection, brew some coffee, bake muffins, or
some cookies. The smell will be homely and inviting and buyers will linger…
Make minor repairs
No matter what time of year you plan on selling your
property, you’ll need to attend to all the minor repairs such as torn fly
screens, leaking taps and sticking doors, as these small things detract from
the presentation of you home.
