Selling in Winter

By Morgan Saylor

Homes are totally sellable in winter. In fact, if someone is looking to buy your home in the winter months, they’re probably in a hurry. But here are some key factors, according to Zillow Porchlight’s Brendon Desimone, to selling in the winter-time.

Accessibility

Make sure the driveway to the home and all paths around the home are clear.

Heat

Don’t let potential buyers walk in a cold home – chilly welcomes don’t make for a good first impression.

Show off

If you have a fireplace, show it off!

See the Outside

Outdoor spaces tend to get overshadowed when it’s cold out; make sure that doesn’t happen even in the winter months. Desimone writes if they’re unlikely to tour the entire grounds, find a way to show off all your property’s features, pool, patio, deck, and the works.
