Make It Warm and Cozy ☀️❤️

No one wants to walk into a freezer! Keep it warm and comfy. Set your thermostat to around 21-22°C. Got a fireplace? Light it up for a cozy vibe to allow buyers to feel right at home when visiting your property.

Let the Light In 🌞
Winter days can be dark, so brighten things up as much as possible!
– Open all the curtains and blinds to bring in as much light as possible.
– Clean the windows so sunshine can really shine through.
– Add some extra lamps if needed.

Keep the Outside Neat 🏡
First impressions count! Although there may be mountains of snow all around you, Make sure your home looks great from the street:
– Shovel the snow from the driveway and walkways.
– Sprinkle salt to stop ice from forming and make it a safe environment.
– Put some winter plants or evergreens near the front door.
– If it is late at night make sure the home is well light so that buyers can see the surrounding areas
Create Chill Zones 🧖‍♂️☕
Show off how cozy your home can be for potential buyers.
– Set up a cute reading nook with a blanket and some books.
– Add a coffee or hot chocolate station in the kitchen for extra charm.
– Play a movie in the basement or family room on low volume so it can set the tone of what life looks like at your home.

Brag about Energy Efficiency 🌐🔦
Buyers love energy-saving homes!
– Highlight things like new windows or heating systems.
– Use draft stoppers to show how well your home keeps the cold out.
– If you are lucky enough to have a very affordable electricity bill, don’t be shy to put it up on the fridge with a magnet!

Keep It Clean and Fresh 🛏️
Winter can be messy, but your home doesn’t have to be:
– Put a mat by the door and a spot for shoes to keep floors clean.
– Vacuum regularly to pick up dirt or salt.
– Use nice scents like cinnamon or orange to make it smell great.

– Clean up the garage if it is messy from outdoor access.

Focus on Comfort 🏡✨
Help buyers imagine a cozy winter life in your home:
– Show off mudrooms with good storage for winter gear.
– Use warm blankets and comfy bedding in the bedrooms.
