Top 5 Tips in Selling Your Candlewood Lake Real Estate in Winter

Top 5 Tips in Selling Your Candlewood Lake Real Estate in Winter

Admittedly, the winter season may not be the most appropriate time to move to a new Candlewood Lake real estate. However, studies show that homes listed between December and March sell faster than homes listed in other months because there is less homes in the market. Furthermore, homebuyers are more motivated during the months of January and February. These tips can absolutely help you get advantage of the season when selling your home in winter.

Here are great tips to sell your Candlewood Lake home during winter.

1. Highlight the cozy, family-friendly appeal of your home. Make sure that your home is well-preserved, the eavestroughs are cleaned, and all repairs are taken care of. Wash the walls, sidings, and windows with warm, soapy water if you cannot paint the exterior of your Candlewood Lake property.

2. Remove all the snow at the walkway before every showing. Bear in mind that you could be liable for the damages if a visitor slips and gets hurt. Digging and shoveling the snow from your walkway is not only as a sign of courtesy but also shows that the home is well kept and is in good condition.

3. Consider the temperature. If your Candlewood lakefront home for sale is unoccupied during the winter, ensure that the heater is turned on a few hours before the potential home buyer arrives. Light up your fireplace and let it burn while showing your home to the prospective client. Turn on all the lights to give a bright appearance. Not even the newly-dressed up window nor your perfect home staging will convince your buyer to stay if it is freezing inside.

4. Take care of the plants. Pick a tree and adorn it to match the room where it is displayed. Ensure that the shrubs as well as the branches of the trees that were bent down with snow do not block walkways or entrances. Brush the snow off the plants or prune them, if necessary.

5. Decorate the entryway. Embellish the entryway with lights, place a wreath on the front door, or hang a door frame on the front porch to welcome your guests and prospective home buyers. Place vase, pots, or jars on the foyer and garnish them with greens, pine boughs, sprigs of holly, or dried berries.

Make your home buyers feel the warmth and coziness of your Candlewood Lake home for sale on the day of showing. Prove to them that your home is not just pretty in the photos they found at http://HomesInConnecticutForSale.com/, but that it’s also a real nesting place perfect for everyone.
