Get some winter curb appeal

Filed Under Winter curb appeal, home staging | |

I’ve noticed lately here in the Salt Lake valley that home buyers are starting to shake off the hesitancy that has delayed them for a number of months. I think many buyers are simply getting out there and looking at more homes. But are they really getting “out there”, meaning outside in the bitter cold?

While most will choose to stay inside and look at homes online from the comfort and warmth of their home, some are out there in the snow touring homes like it was summer. Home sellers would be wise to remember this. *Just because it’s cold out, doesn’t mean you can let your home’s exterior go unkempt.* Curb appeal is still important, even in January.

So if you are a seller, why not use this to your advantage? Why not make your home have the best winter curb appeal of any house on the block? Here is an idea. Put small Christmas lights around your yard sign so that it will be seen at all hours of the day. Or how about putting up three times more directional signs than you normally would, all with lights? You have to admit that nothings attracts attention like a seller or an agent who goes totally overboard with their signs. It also helps to have a clean walkway so that nobody slips before they get to your front door. Perhaps some sort of wintery decoration at the entrance to your house would help too.

It also really helps to make the interior of the house as cozy and warm feeling as possible for when the people come inside. But that’s another topic.

I’m just throwing out random ideas here. The point is that there are people who will brave the cold to come look at YOUR home. Why not make yours the best looking home around? No green grass shouldn’t mean that you can’t still have curb appeal.
