It is that time of year again! The leaves are falling, there is a chill in the air and nightfall is earlier with each passing day. With this change of season, there are always items that should be addressed with your listed property.
Here’s a quick reminder of items to prepare your home for the winter:
- Keep Front Porch Light On – Since it is getting dark earlier, and many buyers view homes in the evening after work, it is best to leave the front porch light on. This way agents can easily find and access the key box, which will give a better first impression of the property.
- Set Thermostat – It is best to keep the house at a regular temperature of at least 60 degrees. A cold house is very unwelcoming to a buyer and they will be quick to leave. Secondly, the warmth will hopefully prevents unwanted frozen/broken pipes.
- Outdoor Water Faucets – Put hoses away and cover outdoor water faucets with insulators in order to prevent frozen/broken pipes.
- Clean Leaves/Debris From Walkways – This will keep a welcoming feel and prevent leaves and dirt from being tracked inside the house.
