Winter offers some unique opportunities for sellers, so ignore your instincts to let your home hibernate. Late winter may actually be a prime time for coming to market

Less inventory = more attention

Because everyone thinks they shouldn't list their property under threat of snow and ice, there are very few homes to buy at the start of a new year. But that doesn't mean there aren't still potential buyers on the prowl. And if your house is the only game in town, you're likely to have a lot more interest than in spring when the market is saturated.

A locked-in real estate agent

Fewer clients means greater motivation to move the properties they represent. They also have more time and energy to focus on your cause.

No landscaping, no problem

In wintertime, though, the living is easy. If there's snow, you shovel -- that's pretty much it. No after work and weekend hours toiling to maintain your outdoor space

A lighter footprint, literally

Overall, there are quite likely fewer buyers on the prowl during the winter months -- more focused and more motivated, yes, but undeniably fewer. Consider this a blessing. Fewer showings means fewer people stomping through your home, tracking dirt and mud all over your carpets as they open your medicine cabinets and peek into your closets.

A faster home sale

It's counterintuitive but true: Homes actually sell more quickly in the winter months, even in cold-weather cities. There's no general consensus on exactly why this is true, although low inventory is quite likely a big part of it.

A higher listing price

Another surprise: Statistics show that homes actually sell at a slightly higher price in winter. This owes to several less mysterious factors. Motivated buyers might also submit a price that's too good to refuse, or a fear of rising mortgage rates, might cause a buyer to be more willing to pay a higher price upfront. Whatever the reason, it's a happy discovery for many people who finalize a home sale when the weather outside is frightful.
