As we start to enter into the fall and winter months, most of the country sees a slower time for Real Estate. Buyers decide to wait till the new year, inventory decreases and sales dip. But, with the Mickalson Group representing you, and the these few tips, you are sure to sell your home in even the slowest of winter markets.

1. Show off the year round beauty your home has to offer. When winter hits, the temperatures drop, and our landscaping suffers. Display photos of your home in the Spring and Summer to show off the beauty of your home year round. This helps potential buyers look past the potential drab winter tends to create.
2. Create an inviting space. When stepping out of the winter chill, and into your warm and cozy home, buyers are sure to be impressed. Make sure to open all the blinds to let in natural light. Show off a functional fire place, and add snuggly throws to sitting areas. Help create the vision of home to potential buyers.
3. Decorate for the holidays. The holidays are the perfect time to take advantage of showing off the potential of your home and the community. Twinkling lights or a scented candle are sure to leave a positive impression.
4. Take advantage of smaller housing inventory. Starting in the fall, we start to see a decline of available housing inventory. As a seller, this is a great thing to use to your advantage.  Make a list of your home’s unbeatable features. Is your house the only one in its price range with a fireplace? Is your listing the only home available within a preferred school district? Unique features can be tough for buyers to notice on their own, so don’t be hesitant to boast your listing’s greatness.

With just a few of these tips, it could make the difference between a winter sale and a winter slump. If you are considering putting your home on market in 2016. Please contact us here, or give us a call at 661-373-2374.
