Why should you sell in winter? There are typically less listings during winter than in the warmer months coupled with the same amounts of prospective buyers house hunting.
Potential buyers know you really intend to sell when putting your property on the market during winter. With less homes on the market, there’s less competition for you as a seller, one of the many reasons why you should consider a winter sale.
Preparing the home for a winter sale
Declutter the house
Having a clean and tidy home invites potential buyers to envision themselves living in the property. It’s worth being ruthless in this culling process in order to best present the house for open homes.
Tidy your outdoor area
During winter, leafy greens and blooming flower beds can be scarce. That’s why you need to present with careful detail. Are your hedges trimmed, does the grass need to be mowed, has the weeding been regularly maintained?
If you have a pool or outdoor spa, ensure it’s cleaned and always covered. Remove any unnecessary outdoor furniture to ensure the outside areas look tidy and present well.
Complete any home renovations
Ensure any home projects are complete before listing your property on the market. Present your home in the best condition to wow potential buyers at upcoming open home inspections.
Brighten your home
As winter comes the days grow shorter and this results in reduced natural light. Therefore it’s important to display your home’s selling points with the correct lighting. Brightening open-plan rooms with great lighting allows potential buyers to visualise what life might look like in the home. Consider upgrading the lighting in the main living areas such as the kitchen, dining rooms and living rooms and also staging these areas as they will be the biggest selling points.
