Over the year’s two old favourite wives-tales – that winter is a bad time to build a home or sell a home – have been proved fallible at least, false at best. And here’s why.
Simply put, the more people who listen to that type of advice mean that if you do choose to sell during the winter months there will be less competition! Simple really – if your house is well presented, well priced and one of only a few homes for sale, your chances of attracting the right buyers increase. And in the building example, there is less pressure on construction companies and particularly less pressure on sub trades who are often the determinants of “the pace of completion.”
So, if you do choose to sell this winter, get one of those paving cleaner products and spray paths, fences and out buildings to make sure they are clean. Wash the house down…no, not with a water blaster, they don’t work and can damage; best results are always gained after hosing and “sweeping” with a soft plastic-feruled yard broom.
Inside, keep your home warm, light and colourful. You may like nets and semi-closed curtains and lowered Venetian type blinds but really, they create a very dark and therefore unappealing room and this need not be the case. Add colour with fresh flowers or an interesting vase, make living spaces more homely by lighting the fire (if you have one), and don’t forget the classic aroma of freshly baked bread, muffins or cookies will appeal to everyone’s senses as they view your home
