Do you have the daily weather talk in your circle. Too cold, too hot, humid, dry, rainy. Seems we’re always talking about the weather. Well, the weather affects the real estate market too. The funny thing is that you never know how it is going to affect it! Bright, sunny days can entice people out of their homes and into your home or it can make them just stay home to catch up on yard work. Cold winter days can draw people out to see your home, or it can make them stay inside with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book.
When you are preparing your house for sale, and while it is on the market, you need to keep the thoughts of those shopping for a house in mind. If you’re selling in the winter, make your home cheery and warm, comforting to all who enter. Buyers make home purchases based on feelings and if they can get that warm, cosy feeling of home from your house, they will be one step closer to buying it. If the spring, get rid of all the dull, drab things. Even if you might want that comfortable throw for your late night t.v. watching, put it away during the showings. Instead feature spring flowers and bright spring colours. Make it look like a new beginning in your home. Open the curtains and turn on the lights, have a fresh smell permeating the air. Create that feeling of fresh, clean, alive with new life. People will feel happy and come out of their drab winter shell. They’ll love the feeling they get when they step into your home and may just buy it.
So remember, you can create “weather” in your home, just make sure it is the right weather for the season!
