As we open our arms for 2017, we’re closing our doors to the cold weather. The real estate market naturally slows during the winter for this reason, but it’s not the only factor that goes into selling your home.
As we open our arms for 2017, we’re closing our doors to the cold weather. The real estate market naturally slows during the winter for this reason, but it’s not the only factor that goes into selling your home. Unfortunately, there are several reasons your home may feel impossible to sell, and the solutions to those problems may require extensive and expensive repairs. Ensure that you aren’t wasting your time on upkeep this winter, and recognize these problems are simply not worth the cost. Read on for more!
Poor Heating
No one wants to buy a home with poor heating; if the furnace is older, it’s likely not working as well, and requires more energy to keep your home warm. This can easily make energy bills outrageous. Not to mention, when you have open house events, buyers don’t want to walk through a home that’s cold and uninviting. If you can’t warm your home without serious costs, it’s probably not worth it to put your home on the market.
Less Daylight
Buyers want to walk through a home seeing how the natural light affects the whole space. During the winter, your chances of catching daylight during an open house are slim. Taking a day off of work just to host one is probably not the best choice. And hosting on the weekends means you’re competing with every other home on the market in your area. Less natural sunlight means your home is not going to look its best.
Roof and Gutter Issues
An abundance of icicles may be beautiful, but it’s a bad sign that your gutters are in terrible shame. Ice dams are the cause for giant, dangerous icicles hanging from your gutter. And with a roof that’s in poor condition, this will only make matters worse. Potential buyers are taking in every detail, and ice dams mean they’d need to make extensive repairs were they to invest in your home. Because these repairs can get so costly, it’s often not worth the effort to fix the problem.
