The Biggest Problem With Listing Your Home In The Winter

The biggest problem with listing your home in the winter months in Winnipeg is how🌛fast it gets dark, and a dark home is not inviting.😬 And what is highly annoying is when a seller turns off all their lights, leaving a buyer to fumble through a home searching for light💡 switches in a place they don't know, so they can take a look. There have been times clients and I have had to shine our phone flashlights🔦 in rooms as we feel the walls and look for light switches.... and that is no way to say "hey, come buy me!" 🤨

So, turn those lights on; the extra electricity is worth it, and make your home inviting to future buyers this winter. ✅

And better yet, DM me to book in so we can make sure you will have the most successful sale ever this winter! 😀

After The Holidays Inventory Is At Rock Bottom

Right after the holiday,🎁 the inventory on the market in Winnipeg is at ⬇️rock bottom, but the buyers are on their phones, scrolling listings, and are eager to get started on their New Year's Resolutions🎉 and buy a home. 

Now is the time⏱ for us to have a chat if you're thinking of listing, because it may be better to do it in a few weeks than wait for the Spring 🌱 market that everyone else is waiting for. 

DM me, let's set up a time to chat and see if this could be the right move for you. 😀

National Chairman’s Club 2025

2025.... You were a rocky and challenging one! I am beyond thrilled to have cracked the top 100 out of 20,000 agents across Canada at Royal LePage, all while making our way through an incredibly hard year.

This year brought us some of the most challenging transactions ever that tested our patience and mental strength. We are beyond thankful for each and every person that we got to work with and help through those tough situations. These challenges have helped to push us and shape us into new people as we head into 2026. We have learnt so much and as much as we cursed it while going through it, I am thankful for every moment that we got to live through.

Thank you to each person who trusted us, that we got to laugh, cry and hug. We appreciate each client of ours more than you know.

I Love The Week Right After The Holidays

I LOVE❤️ the week right after the holidays, when nothing else is on the market, and we are one of the only homes for all the buyers to choose from.😄

It is the sellers that control the market,✅ and so when they all collectively decide not to list their home, it makes it very hard.... BUT if you can break away and get your home on the market before all the rest, extraordinary things can happen. 🙌

Let's talk now, so that we can get your home on the market those first couple of weeks in January.😀 

The Problem With Listing Your Home During The Holidays

The biggest problem with listing your home during the holidays is having it look like.... the holidays.🎄 Your window is incredibly limited to get it sold because as soon as Christmas is over, if you have listing photos with decorations in them, you now look stale and dated.😬 

The days are coming fast; if you were wanting a holiday listing, NOW is the time to act and make those plans fall into place.😀 

The Kid Boss Market Was An Incredible Success!

⁠Keep up the good work, and hopefully we will see you next year!😁 ⁠

⁠For those looking to join the kid boss, applications will open in August!⁠

Listing Before The Holidays Is One Of My Favourite Things

Listing riiiiight before the holidays is one of my favourite things.😁 Sneaking in a listing within the next week can be a beautiful thing. While everyone else pulls back, you push forward⏩ and become one of the few homes on the market available to the buyers who are still determined to make their New Year's resolutions come true✅ before the end of the year.

Time is ticking,⌛ but we can still make it happen! DM me to get your plans in place.🙂 

Is Winter An Awful Time To Buy A House?

Is winter an awful time to buy a house?🤷‍♀️ No, because you get to see how the home performs in the cold!👈

If you are searching👀 for a home in Manitoba in the wintertime, there are a few things that you should be extra diligent about and check.✅ No one wants to be replacing a furnace when it is -30 and prices have soared! 

Check your windows, attic insulation, and make sure snow❄️ is being moved away from the home. 

DM us for the full checklist, or to schedule your very own buyer's consult. 🙌

Avoid This Awkward Situation

When the sellers stay home for showings,😬 it leads to the most awkward situations ever, and almost never helps the buyer to make a decision to buy that home; in fact, it can often be the exact opposite. 😳

The buyer doesn't feel like they can talk, explore, and start to envision themselves there when the seller is there, making them feel uncomfortable.😒

So my dearest sellers, as hard as it may be, you need to leave for the showings👋 and allow those buyers that private time in the home so that we, as your Realtor, can turn them into the buyer of your home. ✅
