End-of-Year Home Checklist for a Worry-Free Winter

Our REALTORS® suggest you check these key areas throughout the rest of the cold months to spot issues early, before they become expensive fixes.
Key Winter Checks for Homeowners
Look Out for Ice Dams on Your Roof
Ice dams form when heat from inside your home melts snow that refreezes at the edges, creating barriers that hold water. Check for icicles hanging from your gutters, ice buildup along roof edges, or water marks on the inside ceilings near outside walls. You should address ice dams right away by adding attic insulation and improving airflow, as trapped water can leak under shingles and damage walls and ceilings inside.

Keeping Holiday Decor Simple When Your Home Is on the Market
The holidays bring cheer and excitement, but selling your home during this time requires a careful approach. Our REALTORS® know that smart holiday decorating can help sell homes. It can make your property feel cozy without distracting potential buyers who need to picture themselves living there.
Why Less Is More During Home Showings
When buyers check out your home during the holidays, they focus on the property, not your holiday customs. Too many decorations can detract from your home's best features and make rooms look smaller and busier. Simple holiday touches create a warm feel while keeping the spotlight on your home's design, layout, and possibilities.
