Daylight Saving Time Ends/Previewing Homes after dark

Yes, Sunday 11/6 is the end of Daylight Savings time. With shorter daylight hours, showings can be more challenging for sellers and buyers alike. 

Here are some thoughts:  

For Sellers:

1.Be sure to have the front door and walkways well lit for safety reasons.

2.Open the curtains and turn on all lights so home is inviting from the curb.

3.Small spot lights placed strategically can help illuminate a room or call attention to a special feature.

4.Turn on back yard lights.

5.Soft music may help create a welcoming atmosphere.  

For Buyers:

1. Homes may look very different with changes in natural lighting.

2. Do a drive by in the daylight prior to previewing.

3. If the home continues to be of interest after first showing, schedule a second showing early in the day.

4.Bring a flashlight.

For All Perkiomen Valley Patch readers: Be sure to move your clocks back (1 hour) before going to bed on Saturday night !
