Find shrubs and trees that bloom in the colder months and place them in your yard, porch, and entryway for a welcoming first impression. Colors and textures Make sure your home has enough visual dimension to draw potential buyers in—a fresh coat of paint on a dull wall, a textured throw blanket or pillow, bright details like this can counterbalance cold winter vibes.

Homeowners Homeowners Cozy core season is officially here If you’re like most homeowners, you have a complicated relationship with winter. It’s undeniably a great season for home and hearth—roaring fires, holiday get-togethers, decorations aplenty—but the colder temps mean higher utility bills in many regions throughout the country! Here are a few tips for conserving energy costs this year: - Sunbathe On days with rays, throw open the curtains and let natural heat from the sun warm up your home rather than relying on the HVAC system. - Insulate Don’t let drafty windows and poor insulation undermine your heating efforts! Make sure windows and doors are properly sealed. - Plan ahead When you’re out of the house, don’t pay to heat it. Adjust your thermostat around travel and other activities to reduce overall spending.
