For anyone preparing to sell a home shortly-ish after the first of the year, they may have had a temporary setback in the way of SNOW -- that didn't melt in the short 48 hours that snow usually sticks around in the Valley.

A decent bit of snow, plus some cold (COLD) temperatures kept the snow around longer than many had anticipated.  But, it's mostly gone now -- and I'm not seeing any snow in the forecast over the next two weeks.

So, if you're hoping to list your home soon, now is the time do that final outdoor prep...

[1]  Maybe some pressure washing?

[2]  Touch up paint on any wood trim areas that need some attention.

[3]  Add some fresh mulch and clean up the edges of your lawn and landscaping beds.

If you need help with any of these sorts of jobs, let me know, and I can point you towards some resources to help you get the job done.

And then... assuming you've been working on prepping your home's interior as well... it will be time for photos, some conversations about pricing, and we'll be ready to get your house on the market.

For home buyers that haven't been seeing many options of homes for sale over the past two months, I hope there will be some good options for you over the next two months.  Just listen for those pressure washers starting up... the home sellers are getting ready for you!
