One of the first tips for selling your house quickly is always to enhance the curb appeal. Plant some colorful flowers, trim the bushes, pull weeds and make sure the lawn is freshly cut so that your home looks as inviting as possible. But what are you supposed to do when you are trying to sell your home in the winter? How can you draw in potential homebuyers when the weather is freezing cold and the ground is covered with ice or snow?

Clear the Way
Make it as easy as possible for individuals to get into your house when you are experiencing winter weather. Clear all of the snow and ice off your driveway, walkways and front porch so that potential buyers are not deterred from even getting out of their vehicles. Make sure your house is warm and cozy as well. Turn the heat up, start a fire and light a candle. You may even want to take the extra step to provide them with some hot chocolate so they can feel right at home in your space.

Show Photos from Other Seasons
There are certain features of every home that are difficult to highlight during the winter months. If you know you are going to be putting your house on the market in the winter, go ahead and take pictures of some of the best exterior features the spring and summer before. These photographs will show buyers the beautiful trees and flowers that are on your property, the lawn you work to perfect every year, the pool that the whole family can enjoy and the outdoor patio area that is perfect for entertaining.

Keep the Holiday Décor to a Minimum
When your house is on the market during the holidays, you may want to refrain from going too crazy with the decorations. An abundance of holiday décor, both inside and outside, will only distract from the features that you want potential homebuyers to notice. You can go ahead and make your house look festive, but keep it tasteful. Let visitors imagine how lovely it would be to spend the holidays there with their family and friends next year.
