Make A Good Impression: 4 Tips For Selling Your Home In The Winter In California

#1. Stay on top of the shoveling

Snow and ice can build up. If you get a showing, you’d rather just grab your wallet and keys and leave the house instead of having to dig a path to the front door for the potential buyers. So stay on top of the shovelling and chip the ice and snow away from the door so your potential buyers can safely get in your house.

#2. Keep a mat by the front door

In the summer you may not care if potential buyers walk through your home with their shoes on. But if you get snow in your area then you may not want them doing that. So keep a mat by the front door so your potential buyers have a place to put their books.

#3. Decorate for a friendly holiday

During the winter season, different cultures have different celebrations. Avoid appealing to one holiday tradition while alienating another. Instead, decorate for winter with wreaths, snowmen, and other neutral, family-friendly decorations to make your house feel festive and welcoming to all.

#4. Clear off your best outdoor features

You want to sell, and you probably prefer to sell quickly. But those potential buyers are on their own timetable. In other words, they may expect you to disrupt your plans for holiday dinners, but they might not make a decision over Christmas. And even if they do, they may not be able to get financing from their bank if their bank shuts down several days between December 24 and January 1.

These are just 4 disadvantages of selling a house during the holiday season… but there are, in fact, many more. You CAN sell your house during the holiday season but it’s just not very convenient or fast.
