You’ve likely already heard me talk about how putting your home on the market in winter is a great move if you want top dollar and a quicker sale; market research and statistics from expert sources like the National Association of Realtors back the claim.

So, once you do decide to sell during winter, how do you deal with the dreary weather outside? Don’t be discouraged; it’s easier to make a house feel like a cozy home in the wintertime. Nothing feels better than leaving the cold and walking into a warm, properly decorated space.

Here are a few tips to help you set the buying mood for those viewing your property:

1. Limit decorations. The general rule is that decorations should accent—not overpower—a room; less is more.

2. Crank up the cozy. Light a fire in the fireplace, play soft music in the background, and prepare fresh baked goods for guests.

3. Brighten up your home. Use outdoor spotlights. A few holiday lights are okay but don’t overdo it.
