Chances are high that you pictured sunny skies and bright flowers whenever you thought about selling your house. But just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you’ll have to give up on finding the right buyer or getting a good price. Once you learn how to work with the season, you’ll be signing on the dotted line in no time! Winter Can Be Home-Selling WeatherWinter can be a <a href="https://www.livabl.com/2019/10/debunking-myths-selling-home-winter.html">great time to sell your home</a> for a few reasons. First of all, given the season, only serious buyers will be out. This reduces the chances of you having to deal with people who are only window shopping. Secondly, it’s unlikely that you’ll have as much competition as you would in spring or summer. So not only will the serious buyers be out, they will generally have fewer options to consider. Just make sure you check <a href="https://www.mpamag.com/us/mortgage-industry/guides/the-states-with-the-lowest-mortgage-rates-in-the-usa/518460">mortgage interest rates</a>. Leveraging a Home Maintenance AppA home maintenance app can be a valuable tool when preparing your house for sale, helping you track necessary repairs, schedule services, and stay on top of maintenance tasks. It can also provide guidance on <a href="https://www.frontdoor.com/expert-solutions/electrical">how to ask an electrician about repairs</a>, ensuring you get clear&nbsp;estimates and understand which fixes are most important for boosting your home's value. With everything organized in one place, you can streamline the process, avoid last-minute surprises, and present your home in the best possible condition to potential buyers. Staging Your HomeWhen staging your home for photographs, personal tours, and open houses, it’s best to embrace the season. You should clean regularly as well as remove clutter. When organizing your home and items, consider <a href="https://www.zenbusiness.com/blog/orgatoz/">donating items you aren’t taking with you</a> to charity or friends and family. Balance decluttering with making the home feel cozy. If you have a fireplace, it’s recommended that you showcase it so it will catch a buyer’s eye. This may mean that sprucing up your fireplace should be added to the list of tasks that need to be completed before you sell the house. This list may include fixing leaking pipes, cracked windows, and faulty wiring. Lighting can <a href="https://thestaging.co/home-staging-lighting/">play an important role</a> in staging, too. Try using low hanging pendant lights in your bedroom instead of table lamps. Wall-mounted lamps look good in your living area while you can use under-cabinet strip lighting in your kitchen to highlight their features. Since it’s winter, lighting the outside of your house well can really pay off when showing your house. Boost Your Curb AppealCurb appeal gives your prospective buyers their first impression of your home whether they’re looking at pictures online or viewing the property in person. According to a National Association of Realtors report, <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/remodeling-impact-report-outdoor-features">about 94 percent</a> of real estate agents suggest that sellers work on their home’s curb appeal in order to attract buyers. Boosting your <a href="https://www.gardenista.com/posts/curb-appeal-11-ways-to-make-your-house-look-great-in-winter/">curb appeal</a> during winter should start with making the property safe by focusing on handrails and proper lighting. It’s best to have a bright front door and colorful chairs on the porch. Since mud is a constant issue during the winter season, you should keep the house clean by placing boot scrapers at the entrance ways.​ Winterize Your Open HouseDepending on your location, you can potentially get a higher price for your home if you have an open house. Winter-specific open houses are different from those hosted in warmer months, so you need to prepare accordingly. It’s suggested that you make hot cocoa instead of cookies for your prospective buyers and make sure your rooms are well-lit to contrast the gloominess outside. You should make sure to clear away the snow from the driveway and provide booties for your guests so they don’t track mud through the house. It’s important to make the house feel nice and warm so your buyers feel welcome and at home. Winter doesn’t have to be a deterrent to selling your home. You can actually use some of the characteristics of winter to work in your favor so buyers still get a good view of your house. Just make sure you use all the tricks available to put your house in the best light.

Top Tips for Getting Your House Sold in Winter

<h4>The U.S. Department of Agriculture has its own mortgage program, but it’s likely one of the least-known about.</h4><h5>The mortgage assistance program is a zero-down payment option for eligible homebuyers in rural locations. A USDA loan is issued through the USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Loan Program by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The loan program is intended to help improve the quality of life and economy in rural America. Interest rates are relatively low, along with the no-down-payment component of the loan product. There are a couple of other USDA programs available as well.</h5>​ <h4>There are three different loan programs from the USDA, although we talk about the most commonly about loan guarantees.</h4><h5>In one program, the USDA guarantees a mortgage issued by a local lender participating in the program, and it’s similar to VA-backed loans. You can get a low interest rate on a mortgage without a down payment, but you will will still need to pay a mortgage insurance premium if you put no money down or pay a low down payment.</h5><h5>The second program is a direct loan, which the USDA issues. This mortgage is for low-income and very-low-income applicants, and the interest rates can be as low as 1% with subsidies. </h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">Home improvement loans and grants are awards that provide outright money to homeowners to repair or make upgrades to their homes. You can also qualify for packages that combine a loan and a grant.&nbsp;There are income limits for qualification for a home loan guarantee, and these vary by location. Your household size is also a factor. Funding can only be for owner-occupied primary residences to qualify for a USDA-guaranteed home loan.&nbsp;</h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">You need to have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and your monthly payment must be 29% or less of your monthly income. That includes your interest and principal, taxes, and insurance. Your other monthly debt payments can’t be more than 41% of your income, but if you have a credit score above 680, USDA may consider a higher debt ratio.&nbsp;</h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">To qualify, you need to demonstrate dependable income, usually for at least 24 months, and you need a decent credit history. None of your accounts can have gone to collections in the past 12 months.&nbsp;If you have a credit score of at least 640, you’ll get streamlined loan processing. If you’re a borrower with a score below that, you’ll face tougher underwriting standards.&nbsp;For a USDA-issued home loan, you have to demonstrate you’re in the greatest need of housing. </h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">That means that you’re without what’s characterized as safe or sanity housing. You can’t secure a home loan from a traditional source, and you might have an adjusted income at or below the low-income limit for where you live.&nbsp;For direct loans, the USDA usually issues them for properties that are 2,000 square feet or less, with market values below the loan limit in the area.&nbsp;A home financed by a USDA loan has to be in a rural location or the edge of a suburban area, as defined by USDA. </h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">To determine whether a home is eligible, you can go online, where there’s a USDA eligibility site. You type in the home’s address to find eligibility&nbsp;Since USDA loans are for those households and families with economic needs, your adjusted gross income can’t be more than 115% of the median income where you live.</h5>​ <h5>Finally, as with a conventional loan, a USDA loan requires an appraisal by an independent third party before the loan is approved, but the purposes of the appraisals are different from one another.</h5><h5 style="margin-left: 25px;">With a conventional loan, the lender wants to make sure they aren’t giving a loan greater than the property's value. For a USDA loan, an appraisal does make sure the value of the property is appropriate for the amount of the loan, but it also makes sure the home meets the standards of the USDA. The house has to be in good livable condition to qualify. For example, the heating system must be operational and up to code.</h5><h3>​Written by Ashley Sutphin </h3>​​For more information, <a href="https://resultsrealestate.org/contact">click here</a>

Congratulations to my friend and repeat client, Ross Momany, on the sale of his family’s beloved home in Big Rapids. Some homes are more than just four walls—they hold decades of memories, laughter, and family history. From his father’s Air Force retirement in 1972 to generations of love and memories shared within its walls, this home has been a cornerstone for their family.&nbsp;With his mom in long-term care and his sister Ruth’s recent passing, this was an emotional transition, but Ross handled it with the same strength and heart he’s always shown in our years serving together on the Reed City School Board.Helping a friend through such a meaningful sale reminds me why I love what I do.&nbsp;Wishing the new owners all the best as they begin their own story in this special home!

A Home Full of Memories – Now Ready for a New Chapter

For those who think the real estate grind slows down in the cold, think again. Winter doesn’t stop buyers, sellers, or agents—it just makes the process a lot more… interesting. To be fair, it’s certainly not as extreme as some jobs can be in the extreme cold! But when the temperature drops to face-numbing levels, even the simplest of real estate tasks can turn into unexpected adventures. Here’s a peek at 3 surprising things agents have to deal with when it’s bone-chilling cold outside:​ <h3>1) Frozen Lockboxes </h3><div class="se-component se-image-container __se__float-none" style="width: 75%;"><figure style="width: 100%;"><img src="https://closehack-backblaze.s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com/agent_richtext/20250219061100.gif" alt="" width="75%" height="" style="width: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-name="20250219061100.gif" data-file-size="0" data-origin="75%," data-size="75%,"></figure></div> Years ago, agents had to fumble with combination dials like they were cracking a safe in the Arctic in order to access the keys to a house. Fortunately most lockboxes work electronically now, but sometimes the key dispenser gets frozen in place which can take a fair share of banging from a nearby rock in order to get it to budge. But even then, the fun isn’t always over… Sometimes the key is frozen inside the lockbox and you have to chisel it out of a block of ice! <h3>​2) Frozen Front Yards </h3><div class="se-component se-image-container __se__float-none" style="width: 75%;"><figure style="width: 100%;"><img src="https://closehack-backblaze.s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com/agent_richtext/20250219061332.gif" alt="" width="75%" height="" style="width: 100%;" data-index="1" data-file-name="20250219061332.gif" data-file-size="0" data-origin="75%," data-size="75%,"></figure></div> When front yards freeze, good luck getting “for sale” signs in or out of the ground! New listing? That “For Sale” sign isn’t going anywhere. Closing day? The buyers may be stuck gazing at that sign on their front lawn until the first signs of spring. However, there are some weathered agents (pun intended) who actually carry around drills in order to make starters holes for their signs. <h3>3) Showing Houses That Feel Like Walk-in Freezers</h3><div class="se-component se-image-container __se__float-none" style="width: 75%;"><figure style="width: 100%;"><img src="https://closehack-backblaze.s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com/agent_richtext/20250219061542.gif" alt="" width="75%" height="" style="width: 100%;" data-index="2" data-file-name="20250219061542.gif" data-file-size="0" data-origin="75%," data-size="75%,"></figure></div> Agents often have to show bank-owned homes that are completely vacant and have the utilities turned off because they were foreclosed. Somehow these houses can feel even colder than it is outside! The upshot is that it can actually make it seem tolerable outside… at least for a few minutes. <span style="color: rgb(122, 122, 122); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">For more information,&nbsp;<a href="https://resultsrealestate.org/contact" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; color: rgb(0, 76, 255); text-decoration: none; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal;">click here</a>​
