Getting Your Home Ready for a Winter Sale

Contrary to many recent news articles about the housing market, we can confirm that people in Seaford are still buying and selling homes.

So, if you are considering putting your home up for sale after Christmas, here are three tips to help you get your property noticed for all the right reasons.

First impressions, kerb appeal, the Primacy Effect

Whatever you want to call it, there’s no escaping that people make snap judgements on a property when they see it for the first time. However, in winter months, that first impression can be hindered by the following:

l Mud-splattered front doors. l Tired-looking front gardens and drives. l Dark walk-ups to the entrance. l Your home’s number not being visible from the street.

With a little awareness and action, the above are all relatively easy fixes and make a big difference.

Make your home cosy and welcoming

It may be cold outside, so creating a comfortable feel for people viewing your home is essential. A rule of thumb regarding a home’s temperature when potential buyers view it is that it shouldn’t feel cold to someone wearing an outdoor coat. And the flip side is it shouldn’t be too warm (which may be unlikely due to the ongoing energy costs) that

someone would need to take their coat off to cool down.

Choosing the right estate agent

No matter what season you’re selling in, you can dramatically increase your chances of a successful sale by selecting the best estate agent for you. For example, pretty much everyone starts searching for a new home by jumping online. This makes not only professional photography a must but also the necessity to offer virtual tours of your home. This is something we offer free to our sellers and makes a huge difference.

If you are considering moving in the new year, please don’t hesitate to call us today with any questions.

And here’s to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
