It is likely you are enjoying the build-up to the festive season right now, and you want to make the most of this time. However, New Year is looming, and if you are looking to sell your home in winter, you have to overcome some additional challenges.
At Spencer Harvey, we are pleased to say we have assisted many Stockport homeowners sell their property in winter. You don’t need to wait until spring to be active in the market. Whether you have a New Year’s Resolution to sell your home, or you are keen to move somewhere new, the winter market is active, but make sure you overcome problems which are more prevalent in winter.
We can help you sell your home in winter
Top tips for selling your home in winter include:
- Creating a clear and safe path to your home
- Allowing as much natural light in as possible, and creating as much light as you can
- Ensuring the house is warm and you offer a friendly welcome to visitors
- Embrace the desire to create a comfortable and cosy home
- Add more storage options at your front door, keeping the home clean and allowing people to relax
- Share images and video clips of your home in summer
- Create an information pack to hand visitors when they leave your home after a viewing
These tips are based in common sense, and a lot of vendors will follow them all year round. However, in winter, it is imperative you create a safe and welcoming environment when potential buyers visit your property. You may not think having a coat stand or a place to put wet shoes is too important in the grand scheme of things, but it makes a difference.
Help people to feel relaxed when they enter your home
Having a storage solution beside your front door stops mud and water being dragged through the house. This ensures your home looks at its best. When you provide guests with a chance to take their coat and accessories off, they can relax. This will help them view your home in the best possible manner. In summer, this may not matter, but in winter, it is imperative you help people feel comfortable.
