If you plan on selling your home in late fall or this coming winter, I have a few recommendations for you:

1. Go green while you can. Have your agent take professional marketing pictures of the exterior of your home now, while the greenery is still lush and the skies are bright and clear. This is especially important for homeowners with beautiful backyards, trees, pools, outdoor living areas, etc.

2. Add light. The sun sets early in the winter, and many of your weekday showings will take place after normal business hours, when it’s already starting to get dark. I recommend adding additional landscape lighting around the house and in your yard. Increase interior lighting if you can by adding floor lamps or replacing existing light bulbs with brighter ones.

3. Fix what’s broken. It seems that during the winter months, buyers have especially low tolerance for deferred maintenance issues. Buying a home is almost always an emotional decision. When it’s dark, chilly, and dreary outside, buyers want the home to be warm, cozy, and move-in ready.
