March is where things start to shift. Even if the weather is still a little unpredictable, it’s a good time to start thinking ahead and getting your home ready for the spring season. This month is all about checking for any wear and tear from winter and getting a few key systems cleaned up and ready for warmer days.
By February, winter is usually settled in. This year definitely isn’t typical, and it seems like we may be skipping most of the harsh cold and snow this season, but it’s still a good time for a mid winter check in around the house. These are not big projects, just a few small things that help keep your home running efficiently and help you spot potential issues before spring arrives.
When buying or selling a home, there are a lot of terms that can feel confusing at first. One you may hear is home sale contingency. This simply means a buyer’s purchase of a new home depends on their current home selling first. It is a way for buyers to protect themselves financially so they are not responsible for two homes at the same time.
January is a great time to reset, take care of a few simple maintenance items, and set the tone for the year ahead. Nothing overwhelming, just a handful of small tasks that can help your home run a little smoother and catch minor issues before they turn into bigger ones.
