1. Selling Your Las Vegas Home During Winter

Selling your Las Vegas home during t he Wint er can work
to your advantage. Many homeowners have heard the old
story that Spring is the best time to list your home. That isn’t
necessarily so in Las Vegas. You may find that your home has
less competition because some owners will wait until the
Spring to list.
Las Vegas isn’t your typical town. We have a large population
of retirees and folks who own second homes in Las Vegas.
These home buyers are likely to purchase their homes during
the Winter months. They may be in town shopping between
Christmas & New Years, attending the big CES Convention in
January, or maybe escaping the harsh New England Winter in
February. They don’t need to wait until school’s out to move.
They’re qualified buyers and they’re ready to buy now.

If you plan to list your home during the Winter, one of the first
things we need to consider is curb appeal. Did the recent cold spell destroy some of the lawn or plants? When
buyers drive up to your home will they be looking at a home that says, “my owners take great care of me?” Or will it
look like you’ve been too busy to notice the plants that didn’t make it? Have the cold nights caused any obvious leaks
in the irrigation system? Before listing your home, have any damaged plants removed.
Curb appeal doesn’t st op wit h t he f ront of t he home. During the Winter months, you may not be using the back
yard as often as warmer times. Make sure the patio furniture still looks good. No, you’re not selling furniture, but having
things that look worn out creates an impression that’s less than favorable. Make sure the wind hasn’t blown over the
chairs and umbrellas. If you have patio furniture that is easily blown over by the Winter winds, you might want to
consider storing it at this time of year.
Have pet s? Don’t let your routines for picking up after the pets in the backyard slack off in the Winter. No buyer wants
to go into a backyard to find that the owners haven’t been picking up after their dog.
Out door light ing is especially important when selling your home in t he wint er. We’re getting dark early, especially
in neighborhoods that border the Mountains on the West side of town. Make sure you have proper lighting along the
steps and walkways in the front of your home. Last thing you want is a potential buyer coming over and tripping
because they can’t see the steps at 6 pm.
As we enter the New Year, the sunsets will be later and we shouldn’t have as many days with cold weather that will harm
your landscaping. We’ll have major conventions and some of the heaviest months of the year for vacat ion home
buyers. If you’re considering listing your home, we’ll be happy to do a thorough evaluation of what your home is worth
in the current market and how we can market your home to get the best possible price.

care of it.
