Should You Keep Your House on the Market in the Winter?

Donna and Maxi 044As we get into December, it seems like every agent is asked the same question from their sellers.  Should I keep my house on the market over the winter?  There are pros and cons, however, unless you absolutely do not want to move in the winter, I believe it usually is best to keep your house for sale. Yes, there are fewer buyers out looking, but these buyers are serious and motivated.  Also, at this time of year, there is less inventory meaning less competition for your property. During the holidays, there are a number of people coming back home to visit family – who may decide to start their house hunt now. If your house is not on the market, it for sure will not sell.  It only takes one buyer to sell a home – you don’t want to miss them by not having your home available to be shown.

Holiday Lighting Safety Checklist

By: Before you plug in and light up for the holidays, run your decorations through this quick safety check.

Lights, inside and out, are a beautiful part of the holiday season. But as with all electrical devices, you need to take special precautions. Before you deck the halls, run through this checklist to keep your holidays merry and bright.
Inspect light strings. Discard any that are damaged. Frayed or cracked electrical cords or broken sockets are leading fire hazards. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting multiple strings. The general limit is three strings.  Light strings with stacked plugs can usually accommodate greater lengths than end-to-end connections. Replace burned-out bulbs promptly. Empty sockets can cause the entire string to overheat. Make sure outdoor lighting is UL-rated for exterior use. Exterior lights, unlike those used inside the house, need to be weather-resistant. The same goes for any extension cords used outdoors. Don’t use outdoor lights indoors. They’re too hot for interior use. For the coolest bulbs and greatest energy efficiency, try LED lights, which come in a wide range of styles and colors. Don’t attach light strings with nails or staples. They can cut through the wire insulation and create a fire hazard. Only use UL-approved hangers. Take exterior lights down within 90 days. The longer they stay up, the more likely they are to suffer damage from weather and critters chewing on them. Store lights safely. Tangled lights can lead to damaged cords and broken sockets. After the holidays, coil each string loosely around a stiff piece of cardboard, wrap it in paper or fabric to protect the bulbs, and store in a sturdy container until next year.
