- Cold weather and winter conditions can affect the curb appeal of a property. Snow, ice, or a dormant landscape may impact how the house looks to potential buyers. It’s essential to maintain the property’s appearance by clearing snow, keeping walkways safe, and adding Christmas decorations.
- While some buyers may be focused on holiday activities, others might take advantage of the season to search for a home, especially if they have time off work. Relocation and job changes can also drive buyers to explore the market during the winter.
- The weeks around major holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Eve may experience a slower pace in real estate activity. However, the period after the holidays, particularly in January, can see an uptick in buyer interest as people set New Year’s resolutions, including homebuying goals.
