When you
step outside and feel a crisp chill in the air, you know it: winter is on the
way. If events have so ordered themselves that you find yourself selling your
home in North Las Vegas during the winter months,
you’re probably aware that it is not the preferred real estate season.
Prospects are less likely to be out and about touring properties when the
weather can interfere; the holidays take huge chunks out of everybody’s
schedule (not to mention the havoc wreaked on family budgets) — plus, the aura
of optimism that arrives at springtime won’t arrive until far in the future…
Nonetheless,
selling your North Las Vegas home during the
winter months is eminently doable! In fact, because fewer offerings will be
competing for the quite determined corps of would-be homebuyers, selling your
home during the winter months can actually yield an outstanding result. Veteran
sellers know how to maximize that prospect:
1. Advertise
with spring or summer photos
Showing what
your house looks like when the weather’s prettiest will be warmly received.
Don’t rely on prospective home buyers’ imaginations to do it as well.
2. Make
your home cozy
Selling your
home in North Las Vegas during the cooler
months is actually an opportunity to show it at its “homiest.” Light the
fireplace; turn on all the lamps; bake those chocolate chip cookies (or light
scented candles — cinnamon is a holiday favorite).
3. Fine-tune
the thermostat
People are
turned off when a home feels chilly — just as they appreciate stepping into a
warm and cozy listing (especially if they were just touring a vacant home).
4. Set a
reasonable asking price
If you are
going to be selling your home in North Las Vegas during
the approaching holiday season, it’s not the
best time to “test the market.” Selling in a timely manner requires pricing the
property accurately. You want to motivate the serious buyers to take a break
from holiday obligations to turn out to view your house.
If you’ve
