In this busy time of year, I see a lot of listings on the MLS. Amazingly, a significant number of houses are the market 120+ days have snow in the main photo. I did a random sample of 400 houses on 120+ days and found a total of 14 with snow in the photo.
If you are a buyer looking at houses online, what is your first impression about a home for sale in June that still has snow in the main photo? My guess is that it’s not a good impression… feel free to leave your specific thoughts below.
