Weigh out the pros and cons of selling your home in the winter versus the spring. You may be able to find that it might not be worth waiting out the winter to try to sell during the popular time in the spring.

Also, because winter bills are highest, holding property throughout the winter can cost more than it can make you.

Whereas the lowest value may cost you a lot of money if the property value is too low and not realistic.
Make your house more appealing by cleaning out clutter. Remove as many items from your closets as possible and organize the rest.

As you prepare your home to list it for sale, you should focus on using decor and staging that is gender-neutral.

Keep it very understated and neutral. Your potential buyers will be able to see themselves living there.
