Many houses look their best in the warmer weather when the sun is streaming through the windows and the garden has fresh new growth and spring flowers abloom. With this in mind, it might seem pointless selling in winter yet there are still buyers out looking, and with fewer properties on the market winter can be an ideal time to list your home. Less competition could translate to more buyers considering your home. If people are out looking at homes on cold grey days it means they are serious about buying so may be more likely to make an offer. In winter, buyers can assess the warmth of a home and see the garden with less foliage and growth. Visiting after heavy rain allows buyers to observe the home’s condition as issues like drainage problems or outdoor areas where water pools might be evident. If currently looking for land to build on or choosing a house design for a section, visit the section at various times of the day to assess where the sun will come into the home. Remember, the sun is lower in the sky in winter so penetrate further inside than it will in summer. This exercise will help you appreciate which house designs will best suit your piece of land as well as where windows, Oamaru NEW LISTINGS exterior doors, indoor/outdoor flow and outside living areas will be best placed for maximum sun on cooler days. Bear in mind other seasonal factors such as the potential for strong northwest winds in spring and hot dry summer days. If selling a property, you will want it to look good. Clean up the garden, clip back dead wood on trees and shrubs and weed garden beds. Mulching will make the garden tidier too. Add colour with flowers which bloom in winter like calendula, hellebores, lobelia, pansies and polyanthus. Fill gaps in your herbaceous borders with trees and shrubs which offer variation of colour like bronze and variegated foliage or flowering species such as camellia. Keep it simple as a fussy looking garden will give the impression it requires a lot of work to keep it tidy. Many people however, want easy care. Real estate agents always recommend de-cluttering inside and outside. Too many ornaments, wall hangings and furniture take the eye away from the features of the home and will make the rooms look smaller. An unclean or untidy home will also make it less appealing. Create a warm inviting atmosphere with fresh flowers, scented candles and essential oils (though not too strong), and the odd ornament. Heat all rooms before an open home (especially on dreary days) so viewers are not walking into cold rooms. <strong>The</strong> more appeal the home has the more chance a potential buyer will <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>11</strong> <strong>2019</strong> Your Earthquake damaged home!
