With the temperatures dropping in Pullman, I thought I would provide a few cold weather showing tips for sellers. Showings will most likely decrease as the the temperatures decrease and we get closer to Thanksgiving as well.
1. Leave your porch light on. It is about 4:00 right now and with the recent time change, we are getting darker and darker earlier and earlier. Agents and your buyers might view your home late in the afternoon. A front porch light says “welcome and spend some time in the home!”
2. Make sure your thermostat is turned up to a comfortable temperature. Cold homes feel...well...just that cold. That warm inviting feeling is absent.
3. Leave interior lights going. It will add to that warm inviting feeling. Let your buyer envision themselves coming home to a cozy, well lit home.
4. If you have a gas fireplace, invite the agent to turn it on and off again before they leave.
5. If your have surround sound or heated floors, make sure you turn these features on for a buyer to appreciate.
6. With Thanksgiving around the corner, why not put out a nice note to the buyer thanking him for coming to look at your home.
You may have fewer showings, but remember those buyers that are out looking are serious...so treat them like GOLD!
