guelph-winter2.jpgHappy December to the Royal City from YOUR Guelph REALTOR®, Krystal Moore!

Regardless of the time of year, there are always buyers on the hunt for a home of their own.  Take advantage of the colder (and snowier) weather and improve your home’s marketability this season by enhancing its warm and cozy ambiance!

SET THE STAGE TO SELL YOUR HOME THIS WINTER with these easy tips:

  • MAINTAIN YOUR WALKWAYS – shovel and sand or salt your walkway and driveway to prevent buyers from slipping on the way in or out of your home.

BONUS TIP: IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT RECEIVES A LOT OF SNOW, BUILD A SNOWMAN TO GREET PROSPECTIVE BUYERS AS THEY PULL UP TO YOUR HOME.   

  • CLEAN THE CLUTTER! – Move boots, shoes, coats and any unnecessary items from the doorway into a closet.
  • MAKE IT COZY – Use the holiday season to show the warm and inviting qualities of your home!
  • TURN THE FOCUS ON THE FIREPLACE – Place a few fresh logs in the fireplace to show that they are ready to be lit.
  • TURN ON THE LIGHTS – It gets dark much earlier in the Winter.  Ensure that your home is well lit and that all of your blinds and curtains are clean and bright.
  • TURN UP THE HEAT – It is cold outside!  Adjust your thermostat to a warmer temperature (but remember that most people will keep their coats on so don’t ‘sweat them out’!
