Temperature can be a tricky issue when you are selling your home, especially during the winter season. Most sellers’ first instinct is to turn up the heat, so that it is toasty warm, however, potential buyers will be coming in dressed for winter. Potential buyers will also most likely be looking at more than one home and be in and out cars. You do not want your home so warm that it is uncomfortable and have potential buyers make a hasty retreat. The majority of people are comfortable in the temperature range of 65 to 70 degrees. It would also be welcoming to provide a space for buyers and realtors to hang their jackets.
