Hi Everyone,
It’s February already! And there will probably be at least one to two months more of
winter. So, if you are trying to sell
your house during the winter, it’s harder than other times of the year. Unfortunately, there are no blooming flowers,
no green grass or trees, but lots of bare landscape and sometimes, lots of
leftover leaves from fall! So, what
should you do to make your house have more curb appeal?
Here are ten suggestions to help
you showcase your house during these cold months:
1.
Make sure that all the extra leaves and
branches are raked up in the yard.
2.
Trim back the dead plants and flowers that may
still be looming in your flower beds.
3.
Plant some winter flowers such as
pansies and winter cabbage in large flower pots near your front door.
4.
Place a pretty winter-themed wreath
on your door for more color!
5.
If you have snow, make sure that
there is a clear path to your front door.
Potential buyers don’t want to trudge through the snow to get to your
house.
6.
Clear off your front porch and
driveway. It shows you care about the
people who may come to visit, and maybe even buy your house!
7.
Clean off your outdoor window sills
to let in as much outside light as possible.
8. Ensure
that the house numbers on your house and mailbox are clearly visible – so potential
buyers can find your house easily!
9.
Inside your house, make sure that
all the lights are on and your shades, curtain or blinds are open to let the sun
shine in!
10.
Keep an outdoor mat on your front porch
and an indoor rug by your front door so that potential buyers won’t be tracking
in lots of snow, mud and whatever else lurks outside J
