While selling a home during the winter season has its own unique challenges, it can easily be done if you present your home with a bit of strategy. Buyers will still love the property when you use the snow and the cold to your advantage. Amber Lube, Keller Williams Realty Concord/Kannapolis is experienced in selling real estate during Kannapolis, NC, winters.

Below are a few great tips for perfect presentation if you are selling a home during the cold months of the year:

  • Prepare the Path: If a potential buyer must fight their way through snow or slips on an ice patch on the way to the front door, you may lose the sale. Prepare a walkway by shoveling a path to the front door from the parking area and scraping the walk so there’s no ice. Keep salt on hand to sprinkle on the ground to allow for easy passage. Provide a space at the front door for people to put their wet shoes and coats so they don’t track salt or water into the house.
  • selling a homeKeep It Cozy: A warm home will show buyers that they can be comfortable there and will encourage them to stay longer. Keep the heat on at a comfortable temperature; typically, around 72 degrees is considered comfortable. If you have a fireplace keep it lit to provide a romantic and cozy ambiance, and consider having your real estate agent offer a warm beverage to visitors.
  • Don’t Neglect the Yard: While most of your outdoor landscaping may be dead, it’s still a good idea to make sure your yard is in presentable shape. Buyers will still look out there, after all, and they should see an attractive space. Talk with a landscaper about how best to present your yard. If possible, put out attractive photos of your outdoor spaces during the summer months so buyers can see the blooming flowers and lush lawn.
