Winter sellers can further expedite their home’s sale with these three tips.


You’ve likely already heard me talk about why winter is the best time to put your home on the market for top dollar and a quicker sale. This is based on market data and research from trusted sources such as The National Association of Realtors and Risk Media.

What can sellers do to make up for the dreary weather outside? For starters, nothing says “Welcome Home!” quite like walking in from the cold to a nice, warm house. It’s easier to make a house feel like home in the wintertime, and here are a few tips to help you set the buying mood:

1. Keep it simple. Decorations should accent, not overpower the room. Less is more.

2. Crank up the cozy. Put the fireplace on, put soft music on in the background, and prepared fresh-baked goods or cider for guests.

3. Light up your home’s exterior. Winter days get dark early, so brighten your home’s exterior with bright spotlights. The nicer your home presents itself, the more likely it is to sell and for more money.

“Less is more when it comes to decorations.”
