Wintertime Home Selling Tips

Selling your home in the wintertime requires some adjustment to staging and preparation.  Depending on whether there is snow on the ground what you can do to improve curb appeal may be limited.  The great thing is that buyers shopping in the winter time are serious buyers who want a home now and are willing to buy that special home they find regardless of the outdoor temperatures.

If there is no snow on the ground and the temperatures are not too cold then you should address outdoor curb appeal.  Any plants, trees or other landscape plantings that are now dead should be removed.  While you cannot replace dead plantings due to the weather you should attempt to cover up what was once there rather than leaving empty spots.  Consider adding season appropriate decorations.  If it is past Christmas time then leaving up Christmas decorations will only serve as a distraction and you don’t want buyers to think that since you have no gotten around to removing Christmas decorations what else in the home do you still have to get around to doing?  Also refresh your mulch.  Your big box hardware stores should still have bagged mulch available for sale, buy mulch and refresh the mulch in your landscaping to make it look better.

If there is snow on the ground you may not be able to do everything noted above but you should try and remove dead plantings from the landscape as it only serves as a distraction for buyers.  More important is making sure ice and snow are cleared from walkways and driveways so buyers have easy access to the home and do not slip and fall while trying to visit your home.  If you have certain areas of the home that are must see to help sell the home (backyard patio, fire pit, backyard deck, outdoor kitchen) then you also should make sure the snow is cleaned off of these areas so buyers can appreciate those unique parts of your home.  Ensure that icicles and other ice buildup on the roof and other parts of the home are removed as they can also be distracting.

Home pricing during the wintertime should also be considered.  If you overprice your home you will attract fewer buyers and have a lower chance of getting an offer.  The longer your home sits on the market then the greater the price drops you will have to make in order to attract buyers and an offer.  The last thing you want to have happen is your home to sit until springtime when more homes are on the market and as a result more competition.  So price your home according to recent home sales that take place during the wintertime.

With a little bit of extra effort and paying proper attention to home pricing a home is easy to sell during the wintertime.  Buyers who are shopping for homes during winter are more likely to be serious buyers and who will want to buy as soon as they find something they like.

The Right Way To Sell A Luxury Home

With anything luxury related the expectation of quality and presentation are much higher.  Especially for luxury real estate the stakes can be pretty high so the effort into getting a luxury home ready for sale should be high as well.  By ensuring your luxury home is presented with its best foot forward you will draw in the buyers and offers will be sure to follow.

One important thing to consider when preparing your luxury home for sale is the quality of the home itself.  The best way to demonstrate that quality and to make sure the quality is there is with a pre-sale home inspection.  With a pre-sale home inspection a home inspector will look over the home just as they would any other home and present you with a list of issues that should be addressed.  By being on top of the issues and repairing any home issues before you list the home for sale you save yourself valuable time.  The time is saved in that the buyer has less issues to distract them with during the sale and you do not have to rush to get things repaired in order to have things ready prior to closing.

Pricing is another key consideration in how to sell a luxury home.  By pricing your home correctly and according to how other homes in your luxury neighborhood are priced you are setting yourself up for success. Price your home too high and it will sit for some time and result in getting a lower price over the long term. A house that sits too long on the market usually has a stigma attached to it that something is wrong and therefore is not worth the price.  Don’t give buyers the time to watch your home languish on the market, price it right from the start and the time spent on the market should be short.

You also have a better chance of home sale success by making sure you are working with a professional real estate agent to list your home for sale.  To find the best professional real estate agent for you ask them about their steps for listing your home.  If they just offer to post your home on the multiple listing service, throw up a sign and tell a few people about the home you may be in for a slow ride. Instead the real estate agent should be offering high definition digital photography and videography, have an active website and blog, and be active in social media circles to help get the message about your beautiful luxury home out to the buyers.  Over 90% of home sales start online, if your home does not have the best in photography and videos online the buyers will miss out or ignore your home.  Start off right and hire the best.

Luxury home selling requires extra effort to make sure your home shines.  Do it right from the get go and your home will sell quick!
