PROS & CONS OF SELLING A HOUSE IN THE WINTER

Creative ways to KEEP YOUR HOME WARM
Warm up your home! Knowing how to keep your home cozy during winter can be a blessing during cold winter days and drafty nights. Here are some of the best ways to stay warm.
INSULATE WINDOWS & DOORS
Use weather stripping, caulk, or draft stoppers to seal any gaps around windows and doors, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping.
INSTALL A PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
Set your thermostat to lower temperatures while you're away or asleep, and program it to increase the heat before you wake up or return home, optimizing comfort while reducing energy costs.
UTILIZE CURTAINS AND DRAPES
Thick, insulated curtains or drapes can act as a barrier against cold drafts from windows; close them in the evening and open them during the day to let sunlight naturally heat your home.
LEVERAGE YOUR FIREPLACE
Utilize your fireplace as a supplementary heat source by burning seasoned wood efficiently. Make sure the damper is closed when not in use to prevent warm air from escaping.
