Snowballs and Real Estate
January 26th, 2009 categories: Sales
Remember when you were a kid and couldn’t wait for snow?
Bundled up in layers of clothes heading outside to build a snowman (or snow person) or hurl snowballs at your siblings and neighborhood friends. And, on a really good snow day, even your parents ignored discipline after you repeatedly pelted them with snowballs while they tried to shovel the driveway.
Such great memories of enjoying snow.
Well in real estate there are no fun snow days!
Most buyers will not bundle up in layers of clothes and dance along the icey roads to go look at properties until the snow stops and the driveways are snow free.
Face it- if your home is on the market- snow is your friend and your enemy. It’s your friend because while the neighborhood kids drag snow and slop into the house- chances are nobody will attempt to make an appointment to show the property. Snow is the enemy of real estate because it’s jams the brakes on a market that is just gaining momentum.
Oh well-it is just a few days- but be prepared. If you have a property for sale make sure the driveway, walkways, porch (and whatever) are cleared.
Remember, the snow will pass and the buyers will be out looking for real estate by the end of the week.
