We’re stagers, not real estate agents…but we do have a front-row seat for home sales. We know what helps a home to sell faster and for a higher price…but when to put it on the market? Zillow says that the best time of year used to be May but that’s moved to March as of 2019 (everything went a little sideways in 2020…). Of course, the best time to list a home depends on location and region. Local realtors know best…chime in here with your expertise, realtors! We do have a few reasons to stage a home for winter sale. Here’s what we know…

Winter staging we did recently in Litchfield County.

A home that presents warm, cozy & move-in ready will sell faster in the winter than a home that's not prepared.

Why list and stage in the winter?

People visit to ski. Maybe they fall in love with the area and on that blustery or rainy day, they'll go visit houses. You want to capture those visitors with your listing and in-home experience. Remember, we want to present a lifestyle to prospective buyers, not just an empty house.
People may not think that listing a home in the winter is the right time, but you will be fresh on the market and capture looks because there aren't many listings. If your home is staged, it will be a superstar and garner a great price.
Staging the home during the winter season prepares it for the spring and new lookers. If a home has been on the market but hasn’t moved, we always recommend to take it off the market, stage it, and relaunch for winter/spring. All eyes will be on your listing.
