So no, we’re not talking tulips and patio furniture just yet.
But here’s the thing — when it’s this cold, it’s actually the perfect time to start preparing your home for the spring market.
Why?
Because while everyone else is waiting for the snow to melt, you can be quietly getting ahead.
Here are five smart things you can do right now (without freezing your whiskers off 🐾):
1️⃣ Declutter and deep clean
Winter is the season of “we’ll deal with that later.” Later is now. Clear closets, tidy storage rooms, organize the garage. Buyers love space — and nothing says “well cared for” like a home that feels fresh and organized.
2️⃣ Fix the small stuff
Loose handles, nail holes, scuffed trim, dripping taps. These little details matter. When buyers see small issues, they start imagining big ones.
3️⃣ Plan your curb appeal
You may not be planting flowers at -30, but you can plan what needs attention once the snow melts — fencing, paint touch-ups, landscaping. The minute it warms up, you’ll be ready.
4️⃣ Consider a pre-listing inspection
Knowing about potential issues before buyers do gives you confidence and negotiating power. No surprise snowballs at offer time.
5️⃣ Talk strategy early
Spring in Prince George can move quickly. Having pricing, timing and preparation sorted before the rush gives you an advantage.
And here’s something to keep in mind…
In 2021, about 16.2% of Prince George’s population was 65 and over — that’s more than 12,000 seniors in our community. As a Senior Relocation Specialist, I help many families start these conversations long before the move actually happens.
Selling isn’t just about the weather.
It’s about timing your life.
So while it may be -30 outside, inside is the perfect place to start planning your next chapter 🏡✨
