Selling a home in the Northeast Kingdom during the winter months might sound tricky, but it’s also a perfect time to create a cozy, welcoming feel that will make a lasting impression on buyers. Here are some tips to make your home more inviting, even on the coldest days.
- Clear the Way - Make sure driveways, walkways, and entrances are clear and safe. A little salt and a quick shovel go a long way in helping buyers feel at ease from the moment they arrive.
-
Light It Up - Winter can be dark, so turn on all the lights and open the curtains. Don’t forget those outside lights if buyers are coming by in the evening!
-
Warm Up the Temp - Set the thermostat to a comfortable level—just warm enough to help folks feel at home. You don’t want buyers to rush out the door because it’s chilly inside.
-
Create a Cozy Atmosphere - Think blankets, a few seasonal touches like greenery or a candle, and maybe even build a fire in your fireplace or woodstove.
-
Keep It Fresh - Winter air can get a bit stale, so open a window for a few minutes before showings to keep everything smelling fresh and clean. If you like, go for light scents like cinnamon or pine—just enough to be inviting, but not too strong.
These little touches will help buyers picture themselves right at home. If you’re considering selling this winter, let’s chat—I’d love to help!
