Touring Collegeville homes in November reveals things a sunny May afternoon won't. When you're at a winter showing, stand near the windows to feel for drafts. Look at the furnace label to see how old it is. Pay attention to which rooms are cold. None of that means walk away. It means you show up to the negotiation with real information the spring buyers never got. Buying a home in Collegeville this winter? That’s your advantage. Save this for your next showing. — If we haven’t met yet, I’m Gerrie Russella, a real estate agent proudly serving Collegeville and surrounding suburbs #homesforsalecollegeville #collegevillerealestateagent #collegevillelistings #collegevillerealtor

Most Collegeville sellers wait for spring to list. The smart ones use winter to get ready. Once the weather warms up, contractors book up quickly. Taking care of repairs in January is way less stressful than having an inspector flag them in April. If you’re thinking about selling a home in Collegeville next spring, the next three months matter more than the listing date. Comment SPRING and I’ll send you my spring seller timeline. — Gerrie Russella, a real estate agent proudly serving Collegeville and surrounding suburbs #collegevillerealestate #collegevillerealtor #collegevilleneighborhood #pennsylvaniarealestate
