4 TIPS TO SELL YOUR HOME IN WINTER We've all heard it. Spring is the best time of year to list a home for sale. So why not winter? Listing your home in winter has benefits. During the winter, home sellers have less competition.

Winter buyers are eager and have a willingness to purchase. Wintertime often weeds out the tire-kickers too.

Convinced yet? Here are a few tips for winter home sales for any house in any city.

Plan Ahead.

The best way to beat the competition is to start by taking outdoor photos in the fall. Use the beautiful backdrop of autumn leaves to enhance your online curb appeal. Highlight outdoor living areas. Set the scene for outdoor bonfires in Minnesota in your listing photos.

Gain traction in the marketplace with professional photography images for your listing.

Safety First.

We have all heard the Farmer’s Almanac prediction this year. A blustery cold winter is ahead of us. Keep those mittens close by.

For safety reasons, keep all walks and driveways to your home clear at all times.Salt or Sand the paths and maintain a clear driveway. The primary objective is safety for guests. A clear driveway and pathway will reflect a well-maintained home for buyers.

Spotless.

Winter months often bring cabin fever. Keep all windows and drapes open. All lights should be on, including under-cabinet lighting. This will create a welcoming space. Before temperatures drop, clean all exterior windows.

Interior windows should be spotless. This means all kid works of art and doggies kisses are in memory for your windows.

Freshen Up. There is an old saying about opening a window in the winter months. Take advantage of slightly warmer days to freshen up your home. A simple trick, but it does the job. Maintaining housework will also keep the musty winter smells at bay. Also, baking soda does wonders on smelly carpets. Simply sprinkle baking soda and allow it to absorb odors. Vacuum when finished. Allow pets a safe place to go until the process is complete. Smelly coat closet? Freshen shoes with baking soda and problem solved!
