Selling Your Property in Winter: Tips to Create a Warm and Inviting Appeal

Forget the idea that spring is the only good time to sell in Canberra. While spring brings a surge of listings, this flood of new properties can actually dampen prices due to increased competition. Winter, by contrast, can be a fantastic time to sell. With fewer homes on the market, buyers have limited options, potentially strengthening your bargaining position. Here’s how to maximise your property’s appeal for a winter sale:

  1. Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere
    Make sure your home feels warm and cosy for inspections. Set the heating to a comfortable level, and if you have a fireplace, light it early so it’s warm and glowing by the time potential buyers arrive.

  2. Add Cozy, Rich Furnishings
    Enhance warmth with throw rugs and plush fabrics in seasonal colours like rich greens. Velvet cushions, authentic wall-hangings, and textured rugs add character and a trendy touch to any room.

  3. Maximise Light
    Brighten up your space by turning on all lights, especially on grey days. Arrange furniture to make the most of natural light, and keep windows clean for maximum impact. Outside, winter plantings and even simple outdoor lighting can accentuate your garden’s features.

  4. Consider Evening Inspections
    Evening inspections can make your home stand out as a warm refuge from the chilly Canberra weather. A bright, glowing property can create a great first impression and show buyers just how welcoming your home can be.

By focusing on warmth, lighting, and inviting decor, you can make your home stand out in the winter market and create an unforgettable impression on potential buyers.
