It may still be winter, but it’s not too soon to begin the process of preparing your home for the spring selling season. In fact, winter is the ideal time for sellers to start preparing their home for the parade of prospective buyers that will come through in the spring.
Tackling home projects during the winter months can boost your chances of making a quick, turnkey sale come spring. To get your home ready for spring showings and open houses, strike now while the weather is cold.
Today’s market is rich with opportunity for home sellers. Increased wages, rising home prices, and low inventory are among the factors that could work to a seller's advantage when spring rolls around.
But don’t wait until the last minute to make sure your home is ready for its close-up.
Here are a few things sellers can do now to get their home ready for the spring selling season, according to Sexton.
Get your home inspected. Getting your home inspected prior to the spring selling season can give you more time to make repairs. Additionally, you might find it easier to find a contractor since many are looking for work during the less busy winter months.
Give your home a once-over. Take a look at your home with a critical eye and eliminate any issues a home inspector may discover. Make sure all items are up to code, seal any cracks, fix a leaky roof, etc.
Landscape. It may be a while before the trees fill out and gardens repopulate, but sellers don’t have to put their landscaping plans on hold. Winter is a great time to spruce up landscaping by trimming hedges and cleaning up flowerbeds.
Declutter. Cold winter days are perfect for taking on indoor projects, such as cleaning closets. Decluttering can make a house look more spacious -- and, as a bonus, it might even help clear your mind.
Change paint colors. Certain paint colors may not appeal to a wide range of buyers. Consult a realtor for helpful tips on choosing paint colors that will show off your home.
Consider financial obstacles. Think about how much money you’ll need to make off the sale to ensure financial stability. Liens and second mortgages should also be considered.
Be an early bird. To increase your chances of getting your home sold first, be the first to the market before it is flooded with competition.

"Kim Osborne Guest was my agent in finding me my first home that I have ever owned and she accomplished this by sending me to a friend, Sharon Skinner from Anchor Mortgage, that was able to work with me in getting my credit straightened out so I could by my dream home. Kim showed me many homes and was very knowledgeable, professional, and gave me as much time as I needed at each place to see if it was the right one for me. I truly think that Kim is one of your best agents and should go far, she is so people friendly and establishes a great rapport with everyone in the family. I am very grateful for having Kim as my agent for she would return my calls and texts as quickly as she could and always had the answer I needed. Thank you for having such a great agent working for you. "
