Winter Perks for Lexington MA Homebuyers
 |
| Lexington MA Winter Homebuyers |
If you'd like to buy a Lexington MA home, don't be weary of
buying during winter. As your Lexington real estate agent, I’m here to name a few winter home-buying advantages:
1. You can get a feel for the home in winter. Any home can
look beautiful during the summer, but winter is another story. Is it warm or drafty, bright or dreary? Notice what the thermostat is set to
for it to feel cozy, and feel for any obvious drafts or leaks.
2. There’s more to notice outside. If there’s snow on the
ground, how long before the plows arrive? Are there any obvious
puddle areas or drainage issues? How are the roof and gutters holding up?
3. It’s not as crowded. There will be fewer buyers out in the colder months, so you may have less competition, and the closing process may
run faster.
The truth is, it’s smarter to shop in the Lexington real estate market during the winter, as you can spot issues with the home that
might not be obvious in the summer. When ready to begin your home search,
contact me, your Lexington real estate agent!

Fall Cleanup Checklist for Your Lexington Home
Fall is the perfect time to get your house in order. You are
no longer running around to summer events, vacations, and just plain enjoying
the nice weather in Lexington. While the fall foliage is beautiful, it’s time
to air out the house and clean it thoroughly before winter.
Once winter arrives, we tend to hibernate a bit and that is
much more fun with a clean home! Also, by doing some extra deep cleaning now,
holiday preparations will be easier.
I would suggest you start with the outside first as it can
get cold quickly in Lexington MA.
- Check the caulking and weather seals around doors and windows
- Check the dryer exhaust pipe
- Clean gutters and downspouts
- Clean and store outside toys and furniture
- Clear any yard debris
- Clean the BBQ grill, refill propane or stock up on charcoal
- Clean off light fixtures, replace bulbs if needed
- Drain and store water hoses
