Winter Home Prep:
As the days get shorter and the chill settles into the Rogue Valley, many homeowners wonder whether
winter is a good time to sell. The truth? Winter can be an incredible opportunity—especially in Southern
Oregon’s unique market. With less competition and serious buyers still actively looking, a well-prepared
home can truly stand out.
1. Warm Up Your Curb Appeal
Even in colder months, first impressions matter.
• Keep walkways clear of leaves or debris.
• Add a fresh doormat, a winter wreath, or subtle lighting.
• Trim shrubs and clean garden beds.
2. Create a Cozy, Inviting Atmosphere
Buyers linger when a house feels like home.
• Turn on warm lighting.
• Light a fireplace if possible.
• Add soft throws, seasonal pillows, and neutral winter décor.
• Keep the home comfortably warm.
3. Highlight Energy Efficiency
Winter buyers appreciate a well sealed and efficient home.
• Mention updated windows, insulation, smart thermostats, or HVAC improvements.
• Consider offering recent utility bills.
4. Let the Light In
Winter days are shorter, so maximize natural light.
• Open blinds and curtains.
• Clean windows inside and out.
• Add mirrors to brighten darker areas.
5. Showcase Seasonal Advantages
Every home has winter charm—mountain views, a cozy layout, or great indoor spaces. Highlight what
makes your home shine this time of year. If you’re thinking about selling this season, I’d be happy to
