Winter House Hunting

Are you planning on being up north to look at property? If so, keep in mind that although winter got off to a slow start...it's now here! We've gotten lots of snow and there's more on the way. One thing to keep in mind is the importance of staying warm when out for a day of house hunting.

With some of our properties being vacant, a cabin or house might feel colder than outside. Often times visitors are required to take their boots off at the door and that means cold floors! The best remedy is to make sure you're wearing a good pair of heavy winter socks, possibly with a lighter inner sock inside. Another tip...don't be shy about bringing a pair of slippers that can be easily slipped on and carried in a purse or day pack. Winter boots are a must and the higher the better as you may find yourself trudging through some deep snow. I find that a slip on boot or one with a zipper entry makes life more convenient and avoids the annoyance of laces. If your day consists of multiple showings, you may want to bring a thermos with something warm to drink and a high energy snack.

Whatever your plans are, be prepared to stay warm and comfortable. Believe me, it makes the experience of house hunting much more fun! And by the way...
