SELLING THIS SPRING · FAIRFIELD & NEW HAVEN COUNTIES
A little unhurried prep this winter makes spring much easier. Here is a simple month-by-month plan for homeowners in Fairfield and New Haven Counties, a printable copy, and a free price range for your home whenever you would like one.
Your winter-to-spring plan
You do not need to do everything at once. A little each month this winter keeps spring prep relaxed instead of rushed.
NOVEMBER
Think about when you would like to be moved, where you are headed next, and whether you would rather sell first or buy first. If you will need a mortgage for the next home, an early conversation with a lender helps.
NOVEMBER – DECEMBER
Walk the house and note dripping faucets, sticky doors, loose railings, scuffed paint and burned-out bulbs. Contractors often get busier as the weather warms, so line up any help early.
DECEMBER – JANUARY
Keep, give, donate, sell. When the holiday decorations come down, it is a natural moment to pack away anything you will not need until after the move.
JANUARY
Work through the list while it is cold out anyway: indoor fixes, touch-up paint and brighter bulbs.
FEBRUARY
A realistic price range for your home based on recent nearby sales, and a sense of what the next home will cost each month, including taxes, insurance and any association fees.
MARCH
A deep clean and clear counters inside. Once the weather breaks, yard cleanup, fresh mulch, a swept front walk and a tidy front door.
Questions about taxes or a mortgage? A tax professional, attorney or lender can tell you what applies to your situation. This is for general educational purposes only and is not legal, tax, or financial advice.
