Thinking of selling later this year? Winter is the perfect time to tackle small projects that can make a big difference when your home hits the market.

Smart Winter Prep Projects:

Homes that are well-maintained and move-in ready tend to:

Taking care of these items during the winter months allows you to list confidently when the market picks up.
